See You at the Hall: Boston's Golden Era of Irish Music and Dance
“Susan Gedutis has created a highly readable, very enjoyable, and historically important memoir of this era… a loving, sensitive recreation of a scene that will never be witnessed again… [The] interviews alone are a treasure trove, but the author has given them a beautiful and understandable context within which to more fully appreciate them… See You at the Hall puts Boston on the map with other large Irish cities and it will be of interest on both sides of the Atlantic for those concerned with Irish culture in all its many forms.  It is very accessible for those without formal training, yet at the same time it will be of tremendous value to researchers both now and in the future.  Northeastern University Press must be commended for publishing this book.”—H-Net URBAN Digest“What this study does very well is reanimate a lost chapter of the history of the Irish-American community in the Boston area . . . See You at the Hall chronicles an unrecorded chapter in the coming-of-age of one of the major Irish-American communities in the United States. The community of Irish musicians and enthusiasts is greatly enriched by Gedutis’s careful, yet exuberant, retelling of a vigorous period in the life of Irish music.”—New Hibernia Review
