The Irregulars play at New England Head Start Association Conference
The Irregulars, and members of the Irregulars, have often represented YTV at conferences, concerts, festivals, dances, etc. Most recently Dana, McKinley and Eileen played before and after an address by Sen. Bernie Sanders at the New England Head Start Association Conference in Stowe. They are tremendous ambassadors for everything we do, and shine a bright light on the possibilities and accomplishments of young people being involved in traditional music. Needless to say, they were a big hit with the 300+ people attending.
A British Invasion: the Northumbrian Ranters
Many thanks to the Northumbrian Ranters for visiting Vermont. They have a great deal to be proud of. They are true ambassadors for their culture and their part of the world. It was an honor and privilege for YTV to be around them, to see them, to hear them. Their talent and hard work is an important contribution to the world. We hope to see them in Vermont again soon, and are excited about the possibility of a reciprocal visit by young Vermont musicians and dancers in Northumberland.
