On the twelfth day of Christmas Paddy Mc Fest gave to me: A gift from the North. Many of us will be anxiously awaiting our annual jolly visitor from the North on Christmas Eve; however, Paddy is giving us a huge gift from the North - some of the greatest music he ever heard, supplied by our friends and family in Canada. We are pleased to announce our third Nova Scotia Showcase, in partnership with the Nova Scotia Ministry for Communities, Culture & Heritage and Music Nova Scotia. The first two Nova Scotia showcases, in 2006 and 2009 were wildly popular with festgoers. Nine bands representing the best Celtic musical talent Nova Scotia has to offer will be coming to Milwaukee Irish Fest in 2013. Look for announcements on these artists early in the New Year.
