Memories of the Celtic Women International, Ltd Conference 2000

Celtic women from all seven Celtic nations gathered again for a weekend that included music, song, poetry and a feeling of electricity as we discovered more about our Celtic heritage. Something new this year was an all musician concert, open to the public. Very well attended and enjoyed by all. See the larger images by clicking on the thumbnails below.

1. Maggie Cronin portrayed "Mary Ann McCracken 1798"
2. Flora MacDonald Gammon showed another side of her multi faceted talent with an excerpt from a monodrama about her name sake, "Flora MacDonald: A Legacy of Honor"
3. Joan Gill told "Stories from the Isle of Man"
4. Flora Mac Donald Gammon started our day with Scottish Music.
5. Dr. Amy Hale returned with "Arthur and Friends: the Enduring Legacy of King Arthur in Cornwall"
6. Sian James, direct from Newtown, Wales, was a FABULOUS treat as she shared her musical talents as a harpist, singer and composer.
7. Our Vendors' section was bright, beuatiful and bountiful this year!
