: Music & Concerts – Tampa Bay Newspapers: “The Dunedin Celtic Festival is Saturday, Nov. 21, noon to 9:30 p.m., at Highlander Park, Dunedin Community Center, 1920 Pinehurst Road.

Hear plenty of Celtic music with both an afternoon and evening show scheduled. The event also will feature food, drink and Celtic craft vendors along with a family-friendly atmosphere.

This year’s featured Celtic rock bands will include Seven Nations, Poor Angus and Lucid Druid.

A band once featured on a CNN Worldbeat special, Seven Nations will take time from their busy touring schedule to revisit Dunedin for this year’s Celtic Festival. Touring since 1994, Seven Nations has been known to spend up to 301 days a year on the road.

Along with festivals and regular concerts, the band has landed some high-profile gigs including playing for the Torch Lighting Ceremony at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2002; performing for the opening ceremony of the New York Marathon in 2001; and taking part in several symphony shows, including a performance with the Grammy-award winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

The name Seven Nations refers to the seven nations of the Celtic world, now known as Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Gallaecia.
