Tonight, check out the work of artist Pat Gallagher, formerly of Ardmore, on exhibit all month at Advanced Medical Solutions in Doylestown. Read more about Pat in our feature story. He’ll be on hand at 6:30 PM to meet and greet. Chat him up–he’s a real hoot. And bring your checkbook.
On Sunday, we hear there’s going to be a pig roast at The Irish Times, the newest incarnation of the Blarney at 629 S. Second Street in Philadelphia, to help local Irish people celebrate the Superbowl. Roast a pig and I’ll watch football too. Sounds like great fun.
On Friday, February 8, talented musician and comic Seamus Kennedy is performing at Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster to help raise money to send high schoolers to Australia this year for World Youth Day. Wood happens to be the alma mater of the staff of www.irishphiladelphia.com. We salute you, alma mater, hail with pride your honored seal. (Jeff, I don’t remember a seal, do you? We didn’t even have a pool.)
For our Jersey friends, and fans of Irish dancing everywhere: Head up to New Brunswick Friday night, February 8, to see the Trinity Irish Dancers do their thing. This group has been featured in feature films by Disney, Dream Works, Touchstone, and Universal, countless national television programs and won two Emmy® Awards for their appearance on the PBS Television Specials “One Step Beyond” and “World Stage,” and performance in ABC’s special “Dignity of Children,” hosted by Oprah Winfrey.
In between, there are sessions galore all over the map–and all over our calendar. Check it out. And check out our St. Paddy’s Day calendar. If you’re a Philly St. Paddy’s Day virgin, you should know that we celebrate the day all month because, well, that’s the way we are.
