Hi All,

On Sunday, February 20th at 7:30, William Pint & Felicia Dale will be 
returning to my house for the third time.  They are absolutely *amazing* 
performers of traditional and traditionally-based music - but with a 
contemporary edge that makes them truly unique!  Although both Pint & Dale 
are Americans, their music is deeply rooted in the British and Celtic 
traditions.

Pint and Dale do wonderful harmonies.  And many of their songs beckon 
audiences to sing along.  And they are both *superb* instrumentalists - 
Felicia Dale on hurdy gurdy, Irish pennywhistles, and percussion, William 
Pint on guitar and mandola.  What more need I say?

Their concert last year sold out, so early reservations are highly recommended!

For reservations, prepayment (to select seats ahead of time), & directions,
         e-mail reservations@sgreenberg.org
         or call me at 510-644-2135.

Eileen McGann with David K (4/16), Richard Grainger (11/5), and Huw & Tony 
Williams (2/25/2001).

WILLIAM PINT
&
FELICIA DALE
will be performing at a House Concert
in BERKELEY
on Sunday, February 20th
at 7:30PM

Returning after last year's sold-out concert (with 1, and possibly 2, new 
CDs!) , this phenomenal, internationally known, Seattle-based duo will 
again be performing at a house concert in Berkeley!

Drawing on several cultures, Pint & Dale perform traditional and modern 
music and songs reflecting the immense vitality of those who live and work 
on the sea.  With vocals, guitar, mandola, hurdy-gurdy, Irish 
pennywhistles, and percussion, they bring an energetic and contemporary 
spirit to their material.  Their music fits into the world of modern folk, 
rock and popular song, but it's rich with the myth, narrative, rhythm, 
rhyme and lyric associated with the days of the tall ships.  Pint & Dale 
gather together material from many locales and cultures including the West 
Indies, Wales and Brittany.

Pint & Dale have won an ardent following across the United States, Canada, 
Great Britain and Europe with their recordings and appearances at festivals 
and concerts.  All 7 of their CDs have received rave reviews on both sides 
of the Atlantic.  With all of the touring that they have been doing in 
Europe, it's a real treat to get them back here for one of their few 
California appearances.
