While mostly shored up in the studio for the rest of the year, three members of The Indulgers (Renee, Mike and Damien) will skip out for a few gigs at Colorado area Irish pubs that really capture the sounds and vibe of the folk trio we called The Wild Mountain Celts.

This wee band formed in March of 2007 at the request of former All-Ireland GAA champion from County Cork, Mr Colm O’Neill. The idea to perform songs of the National Schools of Ireland and favorites written by other famous Irish men like Jimmy MacCarthy, the well-loved tunes of The Waterboys, Shane McGown and Christy Moore and here and there a few originals. Playing around Colorado at venues such as Swallow Hill, the Taste of Colorado Festival, Trinity Irish Pub, Fado Irish Pub, Celtic Tavern, Celtic House & many house parties, the Wild Mountain Celts have quickly enjoyed bringing pure honest Irish folk music to new audiences.

Plans to record a “Live” CD are in the works.

Parker keep’s on growing and now the latest and very classy Pogue Mahone’s (we think it means, “Plenty Of Craic”) has a new website (click the logo).

Those who live and work in Parker know that you haven?t truly experienced the town until you?ve been to the Parker Country Festival, a signature event of the Parker Chamber of Commerce! Complete with a carnival, homespun crafts, good food and plenty of FREE live music, the festival offers three action-packed days of activities for the entire family. The 2007 Parker Country Festival is scheduled for June 8, 9 and 10. The Parker Country Festival will be located in O’Brien Park in Downtown Parker, on the northeast corner of Parker Road and Mainstreet.

A combination of beautiful Colorado weather, rides and games, FREE live entertainment and more than 150 fun-filled arts and crafts booths in the Market Place provide the community with a fantastic weekend of fun. A special area known as Kids Country features special activities for children, such as a rock climbing wall, unique bounce houses, and a petting zoo. Saturday morning of the Festival ushers in the traditional hometown parade. Each year, Mainstreet and Victorian Drive is lined with families enjoying a variety of parade entries, including floats, marching bands, horses and vintage cars. Several civic organizations and nonprofit groups host special events as well, such as community pancake breakfasts. A great way to get involved in your community is to volunteer at the Festival! For nearly 30 years, the Parker Country Festival has been the signature summer event of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, uniting Parker in community pride. With more than 90,000 people in attendance each year, it’s an event that simply cannot be missed!
