idirnáistiúnta ar bhun bliaintiúil.
Tá Ed Ward ina cheannaitheoir don Fhéile Éireannach Milwaukee i Meirceá. Déanann sé freastal ar Celtic Connections gach bliain agus súil ghéar aige do thalann úr a chuirfidh bun faoi ardáin éagsúla a fhéile féin. I mbliana, tá dúil ar leith aige i gceoltóirí Albannanacha ach cad chuige? |
