The New Era - All about Sweet Home since 1929

Matthew Gurnsey, the Kilted Man, performs Wednesday, Oct. 23, at Sunshine Industries. His concert, sponsored by the Sweet Home Rotary Club, included Irish stories and music performed on the mandolin and concertina, and rare Celtic instruments such as the bodhran, bones and bowed psaltery. Organizer Rose Peda said it raised approximately $1,000 for scholarships, with nearly 100 attendees.
