Get ready for Craic agus Ceol which means fun and music. The 2024 Yachats Celtic Music Festival promises to be a delight for young and old. If you are not familiar with Celtic music, it is the grandparent of many of our American music genres.

We are so excited to once again have a booth at the YACHATS CELTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL, on November 8, 9, 10. You will NOT bump into us as usual on the way to the concert hall, however, because this year the festival has designated space for the Western Isles Vendor Hall! Follow the signs! Bridie's will be sharing space with The Celtic Jewelry Studio, the Whisky tasting booth and a small cafe. We plan to bring more merchandise than ever--because we have more space than ever...See you there for a fab weekend of music and dance!

A gentle reminder 🙂

We wanted high tea: the tradition, I imagined, where you scanned a topography of tiny cakes and indulged in complex thoughts about roses or simple thoughts about art.

The headlining band for the 2024 Samhain Celtic New Year Festival is…

Blaz Dañjerus (Breton for “dangerous taste”) is an exciting new project focusing on both Irish and Breton dance music and featuring the musical talents of Preston Wilde, Channing Dodson, and Zac Léger.

Preston Wilde (fiddle, Flemish bagpipes, uilleann pipes, bombarde) grew up in Northern California where he first heard traditional dance music in the form of a Finbar Furey recording belonging to his father. He began learning the uilleann pipes at age 17 with the help of the late Di**le piper Con Durham as well as the Pub Scouts, the local Irish music collective in Chico, CA. Now residing in the Portland, Oregon area, he frequently plays at regional céilís, Sean-nós Northwest workshops and events, local sessions, and concerts. Throughout his time playing music all over North America, Ireland, and the UK, Preston has performed with Ensemble Galilei, An Irish Christmas, Cake, Alasdair Fraser, Kevin Burke and many others.
