We are Proud to bring you...Brigid’s Cross
For 28 years and counting, Paul Baker and Peggy Goonan-Baker have brought an eclectic and entertaining collection of music to the state.
Formed in 1996, Brigid’s Cross has played it all: true-to-heritage traditional Celtic folk, contemporary Irish music, country, rock, alternative, and originals. Truly eclectic music with a Celtic twist! Audiences are pulled into a vortex of fine musicianship, humor, high energy, and audience participation when they see Brigid’s Cross performance.
Paul (Paulie) is the Master of Ceremonies, and a classically trained violinist, to boot. He’s what is known as a “Suzuki brat.” A prodigy of the Suzuki Violin School. He first picked up the violin just before his 3rd birthday and studied classically for 13 years. He has been performing in bands for over 40 years, and as a soloist since he was a young child.
Peggy and Paulie are both strong singers, and Peggy’s main instrument is the keyboard; she really wallops on the bodhran, as well. She has been involved in music since she was a young child and has been performing professionally for over 30 years. Paulie and Peggy’s state banter together is often said to be one of the most entertaining parts of the show. The Ancient Order of Hibernians looks forward to bringing them back to the Indiana Roof Ballroom stage!
