Williams Fire . On Saturday September 14th, a benefit concert was held to aid Matt Williams and his family who had suffered a serious fire to their home. Matt is the drummer for a number
of different acts including the Blarney Brothers, Jiggernaut and the Gypsy Troubadours. Fortunately many of their friends have come to help raise money for them. This is the 2nd of 3 concerts on their behalf taking place at Jack London's in
Ft Worth, Texas. For this concert a number of celtic oriented groups played and it came across very well. There were a number of neat items for auction including a handcrafted flute and some very nice garb.
The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
