A Night of Reavey Tunes

"Hunter's House," "Munster Grass" ... and the Ed Reavey tunes just flowed in a recent Irish Center concert by singer-guitarist Pat Egan, flutist Laura Byrne Egan and fiddler Jim Eagan.

Ed Reavey Jr. introduced the trio (and occasionally chipped in some editorial comments and stories during the performance). It was all a fitting tribute to Philly's prolific "plumber of hornpipes."

It wasn't all Reavey, of course, and the three Baltimore musicians tossed in some lovely instrumentals and songs like "So Do I."

We have some photos and a bunch of videos from the concert. Check 'em out.
