The Irregulars play at New England Head Start Association Conference
irregulars at new england head start

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.

Every year hundreds of artists appear at Young Tradition Vermont events.  We’ve started to ask them why they love traditional music, dance and song.  Here’s our first clip from Wilson Savoy of the Pine Leaf Boys.
