A fairly quiet week in Irish Philadelphia—we think most people are at the shore. And if you are and happen to be anywhere near Sea Isle or North Wildwood, you can catch Jamison Celtic Rock and parts thereof at several locations this weekend.
Jamison–they’re everywhere!
They’ll be at Keenan’s in North Wildwood on Saturday night starting at 5 PM (they’ll be back there again the following Saturday), then Frank Daly and CJ Mills, who appear as Slainte, will be at The Anglesea in Wildwood starting at 10 PM.
Jamison will be at Shenanigans in Sea Isle on Sunday night. Then you can see Frank Daly solo next Thursday at Con Murphy’s, the Irish pub on the Parkway.
On Wednesday, Irish Thunder Pipes and Drums will be performing at Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge National Park, right after the 7:30 PM carillon concert. BYO chairs and get there early for a good spot.
Local Irish musician Theresa Murtagh and her husband, Paul, are holding a benefit at their home in Media on Thursday for Cityteam, a Christian nonprofit that serves the poor and homeless in Chester, PA, and other locations on the West Coast. You can find out more about it here.
Next week, look for Barleyjuice at the World Café Live (August 17) and concertina player Edel Fox with fiddler Neill Byrne at the Coatesville Cultural Society (August 18).
On Monday, August 19, tune into www.rte.ie to see 31 Roses from around the world, including Philadelphia Rose of Tralee Brittany Killion, compete to become the International Rose.
There’s more information on these events on our calendar, which is not going with me to Ireland next week. It will be here, as will How to Be Irish in Philly, but under temporary new management. See you in a couple!
