As many of you already know, tonight is that start of the St. Paul Irish Fair. Not only are they featuring the Dropkick Murphys as headliners, but also on hand will be a virtual who’s who of local Hibernia-inspired performers, including The Great Northern Piper’s Club, The Wild Colonial Bhoys, and the Irish Brigade (full list here). Anybody planning to get their Irish on this weekend?
