Peg Wins Gold Medal at Midwest Fleadh Cheoil
Peg received a gold medal for Newly Composed Songs in English at the Midwest Fleadh Cheoil held in Detroit this month. With the first-place finish, Loyd qualifies to compete in the All-Ireland, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2008, in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland in August. That competition draws qualifying musicians from throughout all of Ireland and around the world.
“I am thrilled to have received the gold medal,” Loyd said. “This was my first time to compete in the Fleadh. I am very excited and grateful to have the opportunity to represent the U.S. and compete in the All-Ireland competition in August.
Peg won for her song, The Fiddler’s Feet, which describes what it is like to experience a traditional Irish music session. You can hear a sample of The Fiddler's Feet by clicking here or buy the album from CDBaby.com or download the CD or individual songs at DigStationl.com.
