The Celts come to New Albany Saturday, by Daniel Suddeath (News and Tribune).
New Albany’s riverfront will resemble an Irish or Scottish celebration Saturday, as the city’s amphitheater will host Kentuckiana Celtic Fest’s inaugural “Celts on the River” event from 3 to 11 p.m.
The free concert will feature Ireland’s own Brendan Loughrey, as well as Kentucky artists Men of Thunda, The Derby Boys, Cloigheann, Keltricity, Guilderoy Byrne and Liam’s Fancy.
“I’ve been to Ireland 20 times, and I can tell you our bands in Louisville and Lexington that will be playing plus our headliner are as good as anything you’d hear in Ireland,” said Peggy Baas, one of 30 Kentuckiana Celtic Fest organizers.
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Tribune: "The Celts come to New Albany Saturday."
All I can add is this: Be there. NABC's refurbished draft truck will be in attendance, and we'll have as many as six beers on tap (two more than previously indicated).
