Links: Various and sundry links, some bands, some organizations, some of general interest. They are not in any particular order.
Sometimes people call the MVFS concert information line and want information on local musicians to play at a wedding, anniversary, or other private party. We cannot make referrals for this. MVFS is not a talent agency and does not represent any musicians. Please look over this list and if there is an asterisk by the link,
that link is a source of possible information about finding celtic and/or trad. music performers locally. However other links in the list may be relevant also. (Musicians: send us a form you want a link added, corrected, or removed on this list, or an asterisk added or removed in regard to playing at local private events.)
