Roseburg-based Irish band delivers spirited performance | The News-Review - NRtoday.com
"Six musicians were crowded into a corner of Little Brothers Pub in downtown Roseburg. The Irish pub was filled with people on a recent Friday evening.
“Thanks for coming in and warming your bones on this chilly evening,” acoustic guitarist Scott McAdoo said. “This is a set of jigs, the oldest style of dance music.”
Luke Nieuwsma pumped the bellows of the uilleann pipes with one arm, squeezed the bag with his other arm and quickly fingered the chanter, producing a sound somewhere between a bagpipe and a clarinet.
Musicians playing the mandolin and the tin whistle joined in. Soon the rest of the band members, playing guitar and two types of Irish drums, as well a fiddler assisting for the evening, helped fill the small pub with the lively sounds of the Irish jig."

Utica pub hosts traditional Irish music session
Utica pub hosts traditional Irish music session - Utica, NY - The Observer-Dispatch, Utica, New York: "The sounds of the fiddle, bouzouki, flute and uilleann pipes mingled with the flavors of barley, hops and wheat Tuesday night to create the foundation for a traditional Irish music session at the Nail Creek Pub & Brewery.
Fifteen musicians from everywhere from Rome to St. Johnsville convened around tables in the middle of the Irish-inspired pub with one thing in mind: the preservation of their Irish traditions.
Around them, about 50 pub-goers of all ages formed small pockets, watching intently as the musicians moved their fingers and hands around their instruments, or bobbing their heads to the beats of the jig-like tunes. "
