| | Blackstone Valley Celtic Festival - Review of the 2nd Annual Festival, July 2004 |
 | | From the opening ceremony with the Tulach Árd Pipe Band marching across the kelly green field to the final, showstopping performance of Scotland's Celtic Rock band Wolfstone, over 4,000 fans gathered at King Farm in Sutton, MA reveled in Celtic music and culture. |
 | | The day-long event featured many outstanding performers: the Robbie O'Connell Band, Pendragon, Aoife Clancy, Laura Cortese, the John Whelan Band, and Wolfstone performing on the main stage, and Charlie Zahm, Rù-Rà Maggie Carchrie and Thomas Leigh, and Jodee James performing in the Celtic Village second stage. |
 | | Special mention must be made of John Whelan and his band; only a week prior to the festival, Whelan was hospitalized with a life-threatening illness, but he had recovered and offered a soulful, moving performance all the stronger for his ongoing recovery. |
