This event was held to raise the funds to maintain this lovely park. For more info or to contribute please check out their website at: whiterocklakefoundation.org.

My primary reason for visiting the festival was to hear Seamus Stout, a Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas-based Celtic group known for its lively music. The group gave a fantastic performance in an outdoor setting. I can imagine they really have the audience involved when they play in a pub! The musicians were exciting to watch individually as well as together. I had hoped that the tin whistle player also played pipes, and I was not disappointed!

Seamus Stout has been together for several years and they have four CDs available at cdbaby. Their sound is sure to please those who like Celtic music. For a complete list of their albums and more information about the individual musicians, please visit their MySpace page: www.myspace.com/seamusstout. There you will find “four of the most handsome men in all the land”.

Seamus Stout also performs at Trinity Hall Irish Pub, a favorite spot in Dallas (and Trinity Hall’s new pub in Allen, TX) to enjoy music, sports, and especially food and drink. Trinity Hall provided food at the festival and had quite a busy day! To see a schedule of all music groups and other activities visit the Trinity Hall site: www.trinityhall.tv/.

Seamus Stout’s cds are available at cdbaby.

Trinity Hall Irish Restaurant and Pub, Dallas TX

Trinity Hall Irish Restaurant and Pub, in Dallas, TX, is located in Mockingbird Station, 5321 East Mockingbird. I stopped by recently to have lunch after I checked out their website www.trinityhall.tv. Everything on their menu sounded delicious. I was after an Irish meal, and the corned beef and cabbage was perfect!

The restaurant has an extensive menu and includes much more than Irish dishes. The beer and whiskey lists are something to behold! The website tells the story about activities there…lots of Celtic music and musicians, soccer on the television. There is live music four nights a week- I’m just sorry I missed out on that! That will be my priority the next time I visit Trinity Hall.

There is a calendar on their website of musicians scheduled to play at the Dallas location through December. It would really be fun to drop in for the music and visit with friends. Mockingbird Station can be found in an area with public transportation, a huge free parking garage downstairs with elevators to the upper level, and access to a major highway. I highly recommend Trinity Hall to anyone visiting Dallas or to those who live there and are looking for a new place to enjoy a Celtic experience!

Trinity Hall just had the grand opening of their second location, 305 Central Expressway North, Allen, TX on December 5. Check out the Trinity Hall Allen tab on the website as more activities are being added.

My thanks to Dallas Pub Manager Matt Guttierez for his hospitality.
