First, an apology. Due to human error, we inadvertently sent you to the Sellersville Theatre on Saturday, August 1, to hear The Young Dubliners. They weren’t there, were they? That’s because they’re not showing up until August 11. That would be two 1s, not one 1. Sorry for the error, and we hope you made the best of it.
This Sunday, head over to Cardinal Dougherty High School in Philadelphia for a full card of hurling and football, starting at 1 PM, when the Notre Dames square off against the Maired Farrells. Once the women are finished, they’re followed by the Kevin Barrys vs. Four Provinces, then the Eire Ogs take on the St. Pats. Bring water and Celtic-strength sunscreen.
Don’t forget the dance classes on Thursday night at the Irish Center. Geraldine Trainor and Laura Gittings of the Take the Lead Dance School in Philadelphia are teaching jive, foxtrot and other dances in a six-week session that will be repeated again in the fall.
Coming up on next Sunday, August 16, a special mass to honor Our Lady of Knock at the Irish Center, with dinner following. A second Our Lady of Knock Mass is scheduled for August 21 at Holy Name of Jesus Church in Philadelphia.
And to come: The 7th annual Berks Celtic Oyster Fest, the legendary Tommy Sands comes to Sellersville (look for an exclusive irishphiladelphia.com interview by Lori Lander Murphy coming soon), a music-packed Sunday Radio Shows benefit on August 23, with Barleyjuice heading our way on August 28. That brings us up to September—that’s festival month in the Philly area. There are at least four on tap. Get some rest.
