I want to thank all the people who attended the free concert and speech last Sunday. Between the [1] traditional Irish group (my sister Grainne, brother Daniel, John Redmond, Evan Stowell, and Flynn Cohen) and the rock band [2] Sun King (friends Fred Carleton, Andy Seminara, Keith Valcourt and Vincent Pedulla) the audience was treated to the best deal of the summer at Boarding House Park. It was nice to see Marie Sweeney of the Greater Lowell Democrats, who later wrote of the [3] event, and City Council candidates [4] Kristin Ross-Sitcawich and David Koch who were able to take a break from their own campaigns for what turned out to be a nice afternoon.
