The North Texas Irish Festival is here once again. And sadly, I'm gonna miss it this year. I've only gone three times now, but I do enjoy the festival. Last year's festival was my favorite. They had an amazing lineup including quite a few Austin Celtic groups. Not as many Austin groups this year which is rather disappointing.

So thinking about NTIF, I decided to compile some of my past posts regarding the festival and a few links that you might find useful. But first, here are some special features from my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast that highlight many of the bands at last year's show.

Some past reviews of the North Texas Irish Festival:

• NTIF 2003 Review

Well, I may not be present, but I'm sure there'll be a lot of folks who are. So I can't wait to hear what people think of entertainment. Do check out Arabesque who are on my new Victims of Irish Music compilation CD. They sound Fantastic!
