Red McWilliams Show a Success
Red McWilliams packed the Courtyard Gallery for an evening of stories and music. The balladeer was in high form and it showed as he wowed the audience with bits of Scottish, American and Irish history, folk tales, personal anecdotes and songs of the Celtic lands.
This was the first Celtic flavored show in what is planned to be an ongoing series of house concerts at the Courtyard Gallery in Cuero. Not restricted to Celtic, the series will present folk music of various flavors for all to enjoy.

The Courtyard Gallery is a great location with good acoustics and homey atmosphere. This house concert brings Celtic music to Cuero and launches a new series of house concerts.
