What Others Have Said About the Blackstone Valley Celtic Festival:
In the Boston Globe Calendar section feature article titled Goin' Small ... A few of our favorite undersized summer music festivals, Scott Alarik writes:
Singer-songwriter Robbie O'Connell says Blackstone Valley, which he's performed several times, reminds him of the country fairs he used to savor as a boy in Ireland. "You almost feel like you're in rural Ireland," he says, "with farm land all around, and a view of the valley and the hills in the distance." - Boston Globe June 30, 2005
Michael Quinlin, President of the Boston Irish Tourism Association says:
"Thanks for highlighting Blackstone [Valley] Celtic Festival, which is really emerging as one of the new highpoints on the local Irish calendar."
