This evening, Kent and I attended a Bravo! production at BYU. The Glasgow-based band Imar came to play and provided a fantastic evening of Irish, Manx, and Scottish folk music. The music was rousing and sweet, the group was funny, and the evening was really a pure delight. They played the fiddle, bouzouki (like a guitar), concertina (like a small accordian), bodhran (drum) and flute, whistle, and uilleann pipe (like a bagpipe). Several times I wanted to get up and dance. They told a funny and sad tale of their complicated trip from Glasgow to Toronto via Dallas, and shamelessly plugged their merch. We bought a CD and a t-shirt to contribute to their return trip. It was a super evening.
The band themselves were hawking their wares.

You can see from this picture we had great seats.
