Peter Quinn to Appear at the Icons Festival 2007 August 10-12

Meet Overlook's own gentleman & scholar Peter Quinn as he presents Looking for Jimmy at this summer's Icons Festival in Canton, MA 8/10:

Irish Connections is a festival of Irish culture that has been celebrated annually in various forms, under the auspices of the Irish Cultural Centre of New England, since 1990. In 2004, its location moved from Stonehill College to the organization’s own impressive and growing campus in Canton, MA just 25 minutes south of Boston.

2007 will mark a re-launch and re-design of the Festival to reflect the new cultural directions of Ireland and its Diaspora. After centuries of economic difficulty and emigration, Ireland, in these early years of the 21st century, finds itself one of the most prosperous countries in the world, socially forward-thinking and increasingly diverse. This festival will celebrate the old and the new, traditional and contemporary, classic with avant-garde, how music is enjoyed in Ireland and how it is enjoyed throughout the world in the Irish style: friendly, welcoming, adventurous and spirited.
