Date & Time:Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location:Lyceum
201 S. Washington St.
Event Details:The Irish Breakfast Band is a diverse group of DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland residents who meet Saturday mornings for a potluck breakfast. After breakfast is a rehearsal of its repertoire of Celtic tunes. These Saturday meetings are usually held at a different house each week, with attendance often exceeding a dozen musicians, though rarely the exact same set two weeks in a row. Most performances feature 15 or more musicians, often several fiddles and flutes, a guitar or two, a drummer, a hammered dulcimer, banjo, pipes, and at least one vocalist. A child-friendly band, the group often brings extra percussion instruments to give young audience members a chance to participate. As you can see from the picture, it sometimes gets a little crowded on stage! The Whiskey Before Breakfast Band is a new Irish instrumental group based in Northern Virginia formed by younger members of the Irish Breakfast Band.
