The 2008 Elizabeth Celtic Festival
Edinburgh Stage - Entertainment
(Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland--pronounced:
"Ed-in-burra" or "Ed-in-burro" ...not "Ed-in-berg")
The Edinburgh Stage is what is normally called the Pavilion Building at Casey Jones Park. The entrance is at the
south end of the building, up the concrete ramp (follow the Michael Collins Pipe Band's lead).
Inside is the performance stage featuring several Celtic Music entertainers,starting at 11:00 a.m.
It's also where the Saucy Wench Pub is, and we're planning to have a large tent outdoors, near the pub, where
you can order beer and other drinks which will be served by Pub staff (if you're of age). People can also just sit at the
caberet tables and eat.
Gobs o' Phun
"Gobs O'Phun" is "lots of fun." An entertaining and engaging musical act, they interact with their audience--inciting laughter, sing-alongs, clapping, good-natured heckling and camaraderie.
Gobs O'Phun isn't jigs and reels, bagpipes or symphonic sound. They perform in a polished, homespun rawness that's inviting and pleasurable. The Gobs musically further the oral traditions of century-old folksongs from primarily Ireland and Scotland, as well as Newfoundland, Australia and England.
Their songs include drinking songs, ballads, historical accounts, love songs, humorous tunes, sea chanteys and more. The flavor may be celtic, but their songs are well received by all cultural backgrounds.
