Tour Of Ireland

March 1, 2010
2010's Tour of Ireland was our eighth and it was our best.  It probably has a lot to do with our travel agents, our Irish tour guides and our fans and friends.  A lot of folks have been to the Emerald Isle with us multiple times.  For many others, the 2010 trip was their first.  As always, this was a terrific way to introduce dozens of Hair Of The Dog admirers to the people and places that they've heard us singing and talking about so many times.  We've already received countless thank you letters and emails from our fellow travelers and we've only been back for a week!  The next Hair Of The Dog Tour of Ireland is scheduled for February 15-21, 2014.  For a more complete accounting of our exploits last month please to go "Road Trips".
 

Hair-A-Thon

February 1, 2010
Beginning in the late 1990's at Eamonn's in Loudonville, NY, Hair-A-Thon became a Hair Of The Dog January tradition.  After the tragic fire that gutted Eamonn's, Hair-A-Thon moved north to our home in Saratoga Springs, NY, The Parting Glass.  Hair-A-Thon is literally a Hair Of The Dog marathon of concerts that takes place annually, every Friday and Saturday throughout the month of January.  Hair-A-Thon shows feature the popular "Stump The Band" segment that has become a crowd favorite.  This year with a little bit of tweaking, we improved "Stump The Band" in order to make it more audience friendly and it worked better than ever.  We also had a wider variety of giveaway items courtesy of our generous sponsors.  This year's sponsors included Celtic Treasures, Grand Premier Tire, The Counties of Ireland, October Eve Music Group, Irish Music Corporation, Lennon's Irish Shop, The Parting Glass and Northern Distributors.  Hair-A-Thon 2010 was a huge success and it will return to The Parting Glass in 2011.
