As usual, those road warriors from the old sod Teada, led by fiddler Oisin Mac Diarmada, have a busy two week trip starting this week that will see them start out in Maine, then down east as far as Virginia and west to Chicago ending up at the Gaelic Park Festival over Memorial Day weekend. 

Tonight, Saturday May 16, they are in Philadelphia for a show hosted by the Philadelphia Ceili Group at the Commodore Barry Irish Center in the Mt. Airy section starting at 8 p.m.  For information on the Philly show contact 215-248-0502 or email ceiliconcerts@gmail.com.

On Tuesday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. Teada tackles the Big Apple with an appearance at Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette Street) in Greenwich Village.  Reservations available at 212-967-7555 or at www.joespub.com.

On Sunday, May 17 at 2 p.m., the Hartford area is coming together for an afternoon of Irish music and dance in honor of P.V. O’Donnell, the fiddler from Buncrana, Co. Donegal that will also serve as a benefit to defray his medical expenses.  

The one time member of Barley Bree has settled in Connecticut for a number of years, and his musical friends, neighbors and supporters have organized this event to help him out as he battles cancer. 

Among the trad musicians slated to appear are Dan and Bonnie Milner, Joe Gerhard, Loretta Murphy, John Whelan, Pat Stratton, Joe Heeran and John Tabb. 

It all takes place at the Irish American Home Society, 132 Commerce Street in Glastonbury. Call Jill Morrison at 860-748-8385.  Messages of support can be sent to amessage4pv@cox.net and donations made payable to P.V. O’Donnell sent to P.O. Box 279, Storrs, Connecticut, 06268-0279. . .
