For the first time in a long time, we have quite the full slate for you. A bit of it is virtual, all of it is appropriately distanced.
We’ll start with a virtual concert that you are going to want to watch tonight (Friday, July 24): the fabulous Mary Courtney. You can catch her on her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MorningStarBand
You can tip her during the performance via Venmo and PayPal. (Please do. Support our Irish musicians! Details during the show.) Starts at 6 p.m. Video at the end of the story so you can see why we’re crazy about her.
Also tonight, see The Rollers live at Sweeney’s Philly, 13639 Philmont Avenue in Philadelphia. They’ll be playing decades of your favorite tunes. The show starts at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, July 25, marks a big milestone as the Philadelphia Gaelic Athletic Association returns for football and hurling at the Philly GAA’s Limerick field, 945 Longview Road in Pottstown, in the shadow of the Limerick cooling towers. Protocols have been established to keep players, coaches, referees and fans as safe as possible.
Before you go, here are the guidelines.
