Welcome to Bob Ford: Folklore and Fun!

We had great times at our Irish events. Thanks to all who supported us.

Copley Concert is a new one for us near Akron, Ohio. We are reaching out to you NE Ohio. It's a full concert with Bob Ford & the Ragamuffins, so bring your friends and share the moment.

Our next Celtic event is a fundraiser for the Clark Co. Parks Dept. specifically George Rogers Clark Park. Thanks to Miss Cindy Funk, the mostest of a hostest, and WYSO radio BF&R and a whole lot of great local bands are getting together for a fun afternoon/ evening of craic and great music. Come support all of us. We are worthy.

Look for us this fall BOTH at the Ohio Renaissance Festival and the Old West Festival. We'll start the fall with ORF and be there for starting Labor day weekend. Then it's off to Dodge City at the OWF. Both are fun and worth seeing so come share some music and smiles with us.

Remember to send us any suggestions of pubs, concerts or places to play in your neighborhood. We will come to your house for a house concert. We don't take up much room and the girls are house broken. Honest!

Until we see you down the road.
