These two remarkable musicians will be joined by All-Ireland fiddler Dylan Foley in concert on Saturday.
After a jam-packed week last week, this one is relatively tame, but still filled with some wonderful ways to be Irish.
All-Ireland fiddle champ Dylan Foley of The Yanks will be performing at a Philadelphia Ceili Group house concert on Saturday night with two topnotch trad musicians, Rose Conway Flanagan from Cherish the Ladies, and flute player Laura Byrne.
On Sunday night, they’ll be dancing the night away to the Theresa Flanagan Band at McGillcuddy’s in Upper Darby. Unless they’re in Wilmington, in which case they’ll be dancing the night away at the ceili at Wilmington’s Irish Center.
On Tuesday, join genealogist John McDevitt at the Irish Immigration Center in Upper Darby for more tips and tricks to finding your Irish ancestors, including the ones that don’t want to be found.
On Friday, St. Patrick’s Church in Norristown is holding an oldies night hosted by the AOH/LAOH Notre Dame Division 1. You don’t have to be an oldie to go—this term refers to the music. There will be food, beer, wine and setups, all for $25, most of which will go to local charities, because that’s what the AOH/LAOH does. We love them for it.
A heads up for next Monday, November 24: Maureen Faulkner, widow of the late Daniel Faulkner, who was killed in the line of duty, will be guest bartending at The Irish Pub on Walnut Street in Philadelphia to help raise money for the Fraternal Order of Police Survivors Fund. Great place, great cause.
