The festival will showcase several dozen musicians, singers and dancers, all with ties to the Boston music scene, during the two-day event, which is held in the heart of Harvard Square. BCMFest gets underway on January 11 with its traditional kick-off concert in Club Passim and the Boston Urban Ceilidh -- BCMFest'
s Celtic dance party -- at The Atrium, 50 Church St. Saturday's "Dayfest" will feature children's and family entertainment at Passim in the morning, followed by an afternoon of concerts and other events on four different stages in Passim and the nearby First Parish Church, Cambridge, at 3 Church St.
Capping the commemoration of BCMFest’s first decade will be a Saturday night finale concert in First Church, with Cape Breton music from Emerald Rae (fiddle), Matt Phelps (pipes) and Janine Randall (piano), a performance by Highland Dance Boston, as well as a tribute to Boston Irish music legend Larry Reynolds (performers include George Keith & Sean Gannon, John, Lisa & Josie Coyne, Cara Frankowicz, Patrick Hutchinson and Regina Delaney). Appearances by special guest performers will further enliven the evening.
