The PPT’S were born out of an after school happy hour. The goal is to play songs you love to sing.
Come enjoy the music from One Part Harmony!
The Jolly Beggars bring the rich tradition of Celtic folk music and storytelling to modern day audiences. Based out of Connecticut, their traditional songs and musical arrangements have exposed many to the joys of Celtic music. They tell traditional stories from Irish folklore and intersperse their musical arrangements with traditional reels and jigs. Characterized by their tight harmonies and use of guitars, mandolin, tin whistles, octave mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo, double bass, bodhran, spoons, and more, The Jolly Beggars have quickly built a solid following and continue to spread their music around the east coast.
The band performs music that is largely Celtic in origin (Irish and Scottish), with some pieces coming from an extension of that music in other cultures.
Bobby Morrill is from Shelton, CT
He's a Solo acoustic guitarist, singer, harmonica/ukulele player. He also MC's the Milford Irish Festival.
The Second Chance Acoustic (aka, TSC Acoustic) performs traditional Irish music and pub tunes (as well as a mix of acoustic rock, blues, pop, country, etc.). We perform at various venues throughout Connecticut.
