A taditional proclamation made following the accession of a new monarch in various countries throughout the world. In England use of the phrase dates back to 1272, when Henry III died while his son, Edward I, was fighting in the Crusades. To avoid any chance of a civil war erupting over the order of succession, the Royal Council proclaimed: "The throne shall never be empty; the country shall never be without a monarch." Hence, upon the death of a monarch the first in line in succession immediately assumes the role with no additional ceremonies required.

So it is with NTIF, in a way. As soon as one festival ends, another starts, immediately, as if by magic. Headline bands are already starting to be booked and we have a number of new kids this year. Bands from "other" Celtic nations that rarely get to perform in the US. We will tell you who later.

For now let's focus on the local featured musicians. T
