Music at center of Greater Danbury Irish Festival

"The 16th annual Greater Danbury Irish Festival kicks off Friday, Sept. 24 at the Charles Ives Concert Park, featuring a number of new musical acts in addition to the cultural attractions, traditional Irish eats and Guinness for which the festival is�beloved.

'It truly is a musical festival this year,' says Eileen Alberts, who is co-chairing the event along with Paul Grasseler Jr. 'Some of our performers, like the Mighty Ploughboys and the Highland Rovers, have been with us for years, but we also have a number of new acts that we're very excited�about.'

That new talent includes the CPTV-featured group the Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Celtic songstress Fiona Molloy, and the breakout band Screaming Orphans. All three recently performed at the Milwaukee Irish Fest, one of the largest festivals in the�country."
