Now that you’re sobered up from the holidays, you can find out what all that “Nollaig Shona Duit!” meant by taking a free Irish language lesson (Donegal dialect, quite lyrical) at theSligo Pub in Media on Monday night.
Before that though, support the Eire Og Gaelic footballers at their annual banquet Saturday night at the Irish Center.
On Thursday, January 8, the first Celtic Media night sponsored by the Celtic Cultural Alliance, kicks off in Bethlehem with the film, “From Shore to Shore: Irish Music in New York City,”at McCarthy’s Tea Room on Main Street (part of the Donegal Square shop). This media night will be held on the second Thursday of each month in the upstairs Great Room with a limited menu and BYOB.
Sound like a slow week? Maybe, but next week will kick off in style with fiddler Eileen Ivers, Irish singers Susan McKeown and Mary McPartlan together for the first time, and the Scottish group, Malinky, all next Saturday night. As they say in Ireland, oy!
