Hello America!

This year, The Barra MacNeils are taking some of their Christmas
cheer to America. Our first show was this evening in
Williamstown, Massachusetts at the Sterling and Francine Clark
Art Institute.

Our drive through the mountains was very exciting! The wildlife
was out in full force with a highway welcoming by a deer and a
skunk…two close calls. They really shouldn’t play on the
highway. ;)

Williamstown was having their annual Christmas celebration
weekend. Tonight they had their Holiday Walk and Tree Lighting
Ceremony before our concert. The lovely old university town was
very festive.

The audience was filled with enthusiasm the entire show. They
even let out a gasp during an acrobatic move by Sheumas. His
piano stool collapsed between numbers. Luckily he was okay.

After the show, we talked to new fans and even some people who
attended the show in 2004. Thanks for the support! Special hello
to the Big Beach Crew who travelled two hours to see the show!
Next stop Unity, Maine! See you there.
