Irish American Heritage Center IrishFest 2009: Chicago IL July 11 2009

A big, huge “Celtic Camera” thank out to Ashling, Kathy and the rest of the fine folks at the The Irish American Heritage Center. It goes without saying that I’m eternally grateful to all the fine musicians for allowing me to capture their day, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a extra special thanks and a big hug to Ms. Eileen Ivers … not only are you the Queen of the fiddle, but your warmth and generosity made my day and warmed my soul … Slainte, Eileen!

Cheers,
Gareth — The Celtic Camera Photography
