Dunquin
Dunquin Irish trio (sometimes a duo) was born about fifteen years ago to play the traditional music of West Kerry in Ireland; since then, the band has branched out to other Celtic music and even Scandinavian music. The town of Dunquin in County Kerry was a major embarkation point of Irish emigrants to America; hence our name reflects a strong Irish-to-American connection. Dunquin performs at festivals and events in Minnesota and Wisconsin, including the Minnesota Irish Fair and several historic sites.
Dunquin presents several concerts every year and is available for weddings, parties and celebrations of all kinds. Its members include Sherry Ladig (piano), Don Ladig (flute and whistles) and Rosa Wells (fiddle).

EVERYONE is a neighbor at Alden Square Park! We've played for their annual potluck for over twenty years. You're invited, and very welcome! Dunquin will play some rollicking Irish music, with few heart-melting airs thrown in for variety. Bring a dish to share, if you like, and a lawn chair or blanket for sitting. Potluck starts around 5:45; music commences about 6:30 and goes about an hour. Summer's flitting away; enjoy outdoor tunes while they're in the air! (Park is close to Raymond and Como Avenues)
