Aon Sceal

It’s back! We resurrecting our news briefs because there’s just so much going on in Philly’s Irish community, we just had to. For those of you who aren’t Irish speakers (full disclosure–neither are we), Aon Sceal means “what’s the story?” Feel free to send us your special announcements.

Major Honor for Two Local Musicians
Musicians Dennis Gormley and Kathy DeAngelo will be inducted into the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann Mid-Atlantic Hall of Fame at the Provincial Fleadh and North American Convention in Parsippany, NJ, in April. The husband-and-wife duo have been performing together in the Delaware Valley as McDermott’s Handy since 1979. They are multi-intrumentalists who are also co-founders with Chris Brennan Hagy of The Next Generation, a group of student musicians who take instruction, play and perform together at the Irish Center and at events. Gormley and De Angelo have been teaching for more than 17 years. They will join an illustrious group of musicians and promoters of Irish culture and music in the Hall of Fame, including Mick Moloney, Ed Reavy, the late Tommy Moffit, Cherish the Ladies’ Joanie Madden, and Kevin McGillian.

Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann (pronounced coal-tis keeyol-tory air-in) is an international organization, based in Ireland, dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of Irish music, dance, and culture with over 400 branches worldwide.

Ray Says a Musical Thanks
A few weeks ago, Tyrone born musician Raymond Coleman was awakened early in the morning by police. Someone had broken into his van and took all of his instrument and equipment. It started out as just about the worst day of his life. Coleman supports his family as a fulltime musician. But before the day was over, it turned into one of the best days he’s ever had.

Fellow musician Frank Daly of Jamison Celtic Rock started a crowd-funding campaign on giveforward.com to help Coleman replace his stolen guitars and equipment. By the next day, dozens of people—and a few foundations—had donated more than $3,000.

To say thanks to his donors, Coleman is holding an “Appreciation Night” at the Plough and the Stars, 123 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, on November 21, starting at 7:30 PM. His brother, singer-songwriter Mickey Coleman, and several other guest performers will join Coleman on stage. If you helped this young musician out, you’re invited.

Win a Box of Goodies
You can win tins of biscuits, a Christmas stocking, tea, jam, sweets and loads of your favorite Irish goodies and support the Philadelphia Irish Center just by buying a raffle ticket.

The drawing for the basket, which contains hundred of dollars worth of treats, will be on Sunday, December 15. It benefits the Commodore Barry Club Real Estate Tax Fund. Contact members of the center’s board for tickets.

Honors for Two Local Lawyers
Last month, Lisa Maloney, senior vice president of Capmark, and Mark Foley of
Philadelphia law firm Cozen O’Connor were among other members of the legal community nationwide to be honored at the Irish Legal 100 event. The program acknowledges the most accomplished lawyers of Irish descent from around the U.S. Past honorees include Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, NJ Gov. Chris Christie (a former federal prosecutor) and Associate Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. The ceremony was held in Washington, DC, at the residence of Irish Ambassador Anne Anderson, who was named to her post in August.

Winners of the best Irish band contest: Jamison.

Everyone should send a big “woo-hoo!” out to local Celtic rock band, Jamison, which was voted best Irish band in the annual Strangford Lough Brewing Company’s annual Battle of the Bands.

So, now that you’ve won the big prize, Jamison, what are you going to do? What? No Disneyworld? No, the winner of the competition is going to Vegas! That’s where this County Down brewer is sending its winner and Jamison couldn’t be happier.

Lead vocalist Frank Daly, who also plays a slew of instruments, told us they entered the contest because “we just through it would be fun if we played Vegas.”

The band credits family, friends, their bar venues and local organizations (like the AOH/LAOH and the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day Observance Association) for supporting them. And social media played a big role. “As soon as we made it to the finals it was like Facebook exploded,” Daly told us. “The night before the contest closed I counted 31 Facebook statuses that were asking people to vote for us. It felt pretty awesome.”

The brewery folks say it was the closest in their three-year history (Jamison won by only 70 votes!). Jamison won’t just be gambling and seeing shows in Vegas—they’ll be playing at McFadden’s at the Rio Casino.

The band, which also includes John O’Callaghan on guitar and lead vocals; Sean Callaghan on drums; Dave Lynd on bass guitar and backup vocals, and C.J. Mills, on fiddle, mandolin, and backup vocals, has been around the Delaware Valley for six years.

You may have seen them at Kildare’s (where Daly works), Con Murphy’s Pub, the Penns Landing Irish Festival, in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, headlining at the Phoenixville Concert Series, or the Mount Holly St. Patrick’s Day Parade where they won the “best band” prize in 2009. In 2006, the band recorded its first live CD, “Live at the Arsenal Theater,” and the following year released two original songs, “Rebel Heart,” and “Mayo Rain,” which debuted on Midwest Radio in Ireland.

You can see them perform on Saturday, December 18, at the Running of the Santas, a charity race featuring more than 5,000 jogging Santas. Starting line is Finnigan’s Wake at 3rd and Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia, ending at the Electric Factory where there will be a huge indoor-outdoor party (and a heated tent!).

Happy Birthday, Fergie’s!

Fergie’s Pub at 1214 Sansom Street in Philadelphia celebrated its 16th birthday last week and they have a present for you!

Fergie’s (named for Dublin-born owner Fergus Carey) just hired new a head chef, Mark Coates, late of Bebe’s BBQ, and there’s a new menu that will turn this great Irish pub housed in a former Bavarian brauhaus into the new mecca for Carolina barbeque in Philadelphia.

Just listen to this menu item: “Bebe’s Brisket. A Philadelphia Favorite. Angus beef brisket, hickory smoked for 16 hours, encrusted in our delicious rub, served sliced or chopped, with a roll or Texas toast, and marinated cucumbers.”

You can even build your own “Lava Burger”—not sure what that is but we’re guessing there’s molten cheese inside–or have that brisket in a chili.

Whew, our LDL cholesterol (that’s the bad one) is going up just thinking about it.

You can still get shepherd’s pie and Fergie’s fish and chips, but you may want to switch off occasionally for a country fried steak and gravy or deep fried mac and cheese. EMTs will be standing by with the defibrillator. But it sure sounds like a good way to die to us. Mmmmm.

And if you run out of things to do Christmas day, bring the bodhran or fiddle Santa brought you down to Fergie’s—they have an Irish music session on the schedule, starting at 4. Have some barbecue for us.

Give the Sunday Irish Radio Shows a Happy Holiday

The current radiothon to raise money for the Sunday Irish Radio Shows at WTMR 800AM is about halfway there, but more help is needed, says “Come West Along the Road” host, Marianne MacDonald.

“We still need to raise a good bit of money,” Marianne told us. With ads in a slump along with the economy, Marianne and her fellow host, Vince Gallagher, have been pulling money out of their own pockets to pay for radio time, which totals more than $30,000 a year. Two fundraisers are planned for this winter—one at McGillicudy’s in Drexel Hill on Saturday, January 15, and another on February 27 at the Shanachie Pub and Restaurant in Ambler.

Marianne is looking for musicians willing to donate their mad skills and time. She’s also in the market for prizes for raffles. You can contact Marianne at rinceseit@msn.com to volunteer and donate. It you’d like to contribute to the general fund, make checks out to WTMR Radio and send them to 2775 Mt. Ephraim Avenue, Camden, NJ 08104.

And a big shout out from Marianne and Vince to the volunteer pledge takers and co-hosts: St. Paddy’s Day parade director Michael Bradley; singer Karen Boyce McCollum; Jane Kane and Kathleen Murtagh from the Mayo Association, Larry Prelle and his wife from AOH #1, National Park, NJ, dance instructor John Shields, historian and writer Frank Hollingsworth and John Kildea. Oh, and me.

You can go to Ireland if you can snatch the crown off Mairead Conley's head (she's the local Rose of Tralee).

Win Two–Count Them—Two Trips to Ireland!
Yes, there’s a catch. You have to be a young woman of Irish descent who wins the Philadelphia Rose of Tralee contest.

This year, according to Philadelphia Rose of Tralee director Sarah Conaghan, all city Rose winners will go to Portlaoise, Ireland in June for the North American Rose Semifinals. If you’re selected there, you’ll return to Ireland in August for the International Rose of Tralee Festival. Your airfare and hotel accommodations will be provided.

To enter, you need to be between the ages of 18-27, never married, and have traceable Irish ancestry. The Philadelphia Rose will be selected at an event on March 27.

The Philadelphia Rose has a great “Rose-in-Training” program: Girl 5-12 can be Rosebuds and girls 13-17 can be Rose Petals. But no, they don’t get to go to Ireland.

For more information, go to the Philadelphia Rose Web site.

Nine Awards for RUNA
Congrats go out to Shannon Lambert-Ryan and RUNA. Not only was this local contemporary Irish band nominated for a gabillion Montgomery-Bucks Music Awards, they walked away with nine of them at the awards ceremony on November 8 at the Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope.

The awards are strictly people’s choice—given to musical groups who get the most votes.

“We were completely surprised and beside ourselves at the result and the support of our fans,” Shannon told us the day after the event. “We are still in a state of shock and surrealism. We were expecting to have a fun time with the experience and felt so privileged to be nominated with so many other fine musicians. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect to have a night like we did.”

Among the nine awards was one for Lambert-Ryan for best female vocalist, her husband Fionan de Barra and others for best lyricist, best original song, best overall CD and best folk group. Cheryl Prasker, a Canadian transplant living in Philadelphia and drummer, rounds out the RUNA trio.

Bad News, Good News
You know what comes first. We just learned that one of our fave trad bands, Paddy’s Well, has broken up. But no, it’s not like the Beatles or anything. They’re still talking. They have to—they have a gig at the Maryland State Irish Festival this weekend. It’s their last as a group.

The good news is we now have more Paddy’s Well music to love. Paul Moore, who founded the group five years ago, is reforming as Paul Moore and Friends which will be the First Friday band at Brittingham’s in Lafayette Hill come December. Among Paul’s friends: Matt Brescia of Paddy’s Well and current fiddler Paraic Keene of Dublin. There will also be regular guest appearances.

Paddy’s Well fiddler Laine Walker-Hughes told us she and her husband, Joe Hughes, and bass player Frank Reed have formed a new band, Belfast Connection and they’ve already started recording!

"Gas Pump Ceili"organizers Luke Jardel, Fintan Malone, and Marianne MacDonald.

Tune in to NBC-10 Friday night, October 29, at 7 PM to see the program “School Pride” to see the remarkable transformation of the Kingston Springs, TN, elementary school, devasted by last spring’s floods. Some of the money that went in to restoring the community’s only elementary school came from Irish-Americans in Philadelphia, some of whom were stranded for hours by the rising flood waters on an Irish Center trip to Nashville and Memphis.

Trip organizer, WTMR Irish radio host Marianne MacDonald, and musicians Luke Jardel and Fintan Malone (The Malones), raised $2,000 at a special ceili event at the Irish Center when they arrived home. They called it the “Gas Pump Ceili” because they and the more than 50 Philadelphia-area residents who had traveled to Tennessee threw an impromptu dance event at the BP station where they were waiting out the storm.

Local businesses and residents brought them food, water, and offered them shelter–and then joined in the dancing and singing after Jardel and Malone pulled out their instruments and began playing.

A few weeks ago, MacDonald and Malone returned to Kingston Springs, TN, to present a check to School Principal Jill Bramble who turned the moment “teachable,” pointing out to her students that the Philly visitors—and their local benefactors—didn’t complain about their plights but helped one another.

Michael Bradley, center, with Mayor Michael Nutter and Linda Bradley.

He’s Man of the Year Every Year

Philly’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade Director Michael Bradley has been named the Philadelphia Emerald Society’s Man of the Year for 2010.

Along with coordinating the parade and running the Irish Fest on Penns Landing in June, Bradley literally fought City Hall to keep the parade marching down the Parkway after the Nutter administration, faced with a serious budget shortfall, withdrew the city’s financial support of the parade, the second oldest in the US. A series of fundraisers helped pay some of the added bills and Bradley vowed that the parade would go on, no matter what. “It will either be a peaceful parade or an organized riot,” he joked before a meeting with Mayor Michael Nutter.

Also being honored at Philadelphia Police Sergeant Patrick McDonald, who was killed in the line of duty, and Philadelphia Fire Department Captain Larry McDonald, Patrick’s father, who died of a heart attack while riding his bike last spring. We interviewed Larry McDonald last St. Patrick’s Day at a fundraiser for a charity established in his son’s name.

The men will be honored at a banquet on October 22 at the Fraternal Order of Police Hall, 1336 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia. Tickets are $50 per person. Contact Harry Marnie at 215-298-9573, 302-736-6654, or hmarnie@verizon.net for information or to purchase tickets or an ad in the program book.

From the “We Told You She Was Inspirational” Department

In May, Denise Sullivan Morrison, a division president at Campbell’s Soup in Camden, NJ, was honored as one of 11 “Inspirational Irish Women” at a ceremony at Philadelphia’s Irish Center.

When we interviewed Denise, who credited her dad with exposing her and her sisters to the business world at a time when for girls, “business” meant being in the steno pool, she said her goal was to become a CEO one day.

That day may be coming soon. Campbell’s CEO Douglas Conant, Morrison’s boss and mentor, announced this week that he’s stepping down and Morrison may be his successor. If you’d like to find out why this would be a good move, read what we wrote about Denise Sullivan Morrison in May 2010.

Be A Soldier’s Santa

Philadelphia’s 2006 “Mary from Dungloe” Brittany Basis is looking for a few good elves to make the holidays bright for US Marines stationed in Afghanistan—including her husband, Cpl. Roy Basis of the 2nd Batallian, 6th Marine Unit.

“There are about 800 Marines in the 2/6 alone and they have already lost 8 brothers in combat and suffered over 80 injuries,” says Basis. The men rarely shower, are connected to home via satellite phones they have to share and which drop calls after only a few minutes, making for disjointed conversations.

“The biggest morale boosters are when the men receive care pacakages from their wives, girlfriends, and family. Sadly,” says Basis, “some of the men don’t receive anything at all or have no one to get packages from.”

So she’s asking local organizations—and Irish folk—to put together packages for Operation Christmas Stocking, founded by Chaplain Dave Mowbray of the 2/6.

Here’s what they need, according to Chaplain Mowbray:

“Christmas stockings (12-18 inches long, and feel free to decorate and/or write your name/message on either the inside or outside)

“Pre-lit Christmas Trees (2-4 feet high, cheap ones are fine. These will be used in the various posts and bases around Marjah)

“Christmas related candy, candy canes, small toys and similar items. The more “Christmasy” or silly the better.

“No need to stuff the stockings, I’ll take all donations, plus the goodies we normally get, and try to make everything as equal as I can for everyone. Just use common sense on what you should or shouldn’t send. Liquor, drugs, chain saws? No. Anything else I can sort through and figure out. Chocolate should be fine, as it will be getting colder here. Boot or sport socks are a big hit too. One thing I have learned though: hygiene products and food do not usually ship well together. Food tends to absorb the scent of soap, laundry detergent, etc… Yuck.”

You’ll need to send your packages by November 1 to ensure a holiday delivery. Since the 2/6 is “too far in the boonies,” says the chaplain, don’t sending calling cards. You’ll need to fill out a customs form at the post office but you’ll only pay domestic shipping rates. Write “Operation Christmas Stocking” on the outside of the box and send them to:

Kathleen Quigg

A Barry Girl Turns 80

Her grandchildren had her whirling around the Irish Center’s dance floor in her wheelchair (see photo above), and Kathleen Quigg appeared to be enjoying every minute of it as she celebrated her 80th birthday with family and friends on Sunday, September 12.

The widow of Eddie Quigg, a former manager at the Irish Center (whom she met at a dance in Germantown, Kathleen Quigg is the mother of four (Michael, Brian, Kathy and Maureen), and grandmother to, well, let’s say, many. She has been part of the fabric of the Irish community since she arrived in the US from Buncrana, County Donegal, as a young woman looking for work.

An inductee in the Delaware Valley Irish Hall of Fame, Kathleen Quigg was known as one of the Barry Girls, a group of young women who spent a good part of their time at the Irish Center (there were Barry Boys too). Many still do, and old friends such as Sarah Walsh, Mary Brennan, and Michele Higgins were on hand to celebrate her big day.

Blackthorne Resort Burns to the Ground

Hundreds of local fans of Irish trad music who have slept, drank, and session-ed at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, NY, during Catskills Irish Arts Week every July were saddened to learn that the main facility at the Inn burned down last Saturday. The accidental fire was apparently sparked by a steam table burner in the banquet hall.

The resort was packed with bikers celebrating the 13th anniversary of the Catskill Mountain Thunder event. No one was hurt, but the building was reduced to charred rubble even though firefighters from seven companies battled the blaze that quickly overwhelmed the wooden structure.

Paul Edward Keating, the artistic director of the popular festival, whose faculty includes some of Irish traditional music’s brightest lights, said he was “thinking so much of the Handel Family [Blackthorne’s owners] who put their blood, sweat and tears into the place for so long and helped keep East Durham Alive through their hard work and sheer determination to keep it a resort area. They will need a lot of support to overcome this massive setback but I know there are many out there willing to help them in whatever ways it takes.”

You can watch a home video of the blaze here.

Kildare’s KOP Location Closed

Local Irish pub czar Dave Magrogran closed the doors of Kildare’s Irish Pub’s King of Prussian location a week ago. But you know what they say, when one door closes, another opens. New Kildare’s debuted in State College and across from the Notre Dame University campus in South Bend, IN.

The Irish Center Board with members of the Inspirational Irish Women committee.

Pay Day

Members of the Inspirational Irish Women Committee presented a check to the Irish Center board of directors on Tuesday night—proceeds from the May 24 event at the Irish Center which honored 11 women of Irish descent from the Delaware Valley whose intelligence, courage, generosity, pride, strength, and grace embodied the Irish spirit.

Among the honorees were Project Home’s Sister Mary Scullion, Campbell’s Soup executive Denise Sullivan Morrison, Connolly Foundation Executive Vice President and philanthropist Emily Riley, and Princess Grace of Monaco, whose nephew, J.B. Kelly, accepted the posthumous award on behalf of her children.

The event, which also kicked off an ongoing art exhibit of portraits by artist Pat Gallagher, raised money for both the Irish Center and for Project Home, Sister Mary Scullion’s nationally acclaimed program to end homelessness in the Philadelphia area. The Irish Immigration Center of Philadelphia was fiscal sponsor of the event. Executive Director Siobhan Lyons was on hand to help present the check to Irish Center Board President Vincent Gallagher. Other Inspirational Irish Women committee members Sarah Conaghan, Jocelyn McGillian and Denise Foley were at the meeting.

[cincopa 10740797]Well, she may not have brought home a third crown (the London Rose took it for a second year in a row), but the Philadelphia and Mid-Atlantic Rose of Tralee, Mairead Conley, made a big impression when she competed a week ago in the international Rose of Tralee pageant, one of the largest festivals in Ireland.

Maureen O’Dwyer, who lives in Galway, emailed www.irishphiladelphia.com to praise Mairead. Here’s what she wrote:

“I have been watching the Rose of Tralee here in Galway with family, and all of us just think the Philadelphia Rose has been the most refreshing and brilliant ever. Never mind the Rose of Tralee: She just shines as a fab and great person … if you don’t win you have really won in other ways … good luck, Mairead!”

We agree. Mairead, who holds a degree in sociology from Temple University, serves as deputy director of community programming at the Irish Immigration Center, is on the board of directors of Irish Network-Philadelphia and is a singer, was feted by her friends this week at the Immigration Center. But, as you can see from the picture, she was back at work immediately—sashed, but no tiara.

In this video, Mairead reprises her talent.

Taking the Mommy Track

We recently ran into Laine Walker Hughes–she of the 1000-watt smile and the killer fiddle playing—who told us she’s left Paddy’s Well to concentrate on being a mom (she and bandmate/husband Joe Hughes have a young son) and her job as music teacher and band coordinator at Norristown Area High School.

“I even have a little group of fiddlers who are really great,” she said.

Paddy’s Well’s new fiddler is Paraic Keane, a Dubliner who comes from a noted Irish musical family: His father, Sean, was a member of The Chieftains, and his uncle James is such a well known box player, there’s even an instrument named after him (the Keane box).

Penn State Vs. Notre Dame

We happened across a rousing locker room speech video from Penn State on Facebok and had to find out more about it.

No, it wasn’t JoePa.

Turns out, there’s a serious rivalry brewing between Penn State and Notre Dame–at least, among the managers and staff at the Kildare’s Irish Pubs that have opened up in State College and in Indiana near the two big football schools.

So we asked Kildare’s marketing guy, Frank Daly, who is also a member of the Celtic rock band, Jamison. “This is a pretty cool story,” he told us. “The GM of Kildare’s at Notre Dame, Jay Murphy, was a peer of the GM of Kildare’s Penn State, Eric Humphrys, when both of them worked for Molly Branigans. We ended up hiring both of them to run locations that are close to two of the most competitive football schools in the nation. They have been going back and forth on who’s pub will do better, so I thought I’d stir the pot a bit. “

Expect a Notre Dame response soon.

It’s an Irish Thing

Conan O’Brien (no, he’s not from here) told reporters that he dropped his last name from his new late-night show—calling it simply, “Conan”—because he wants to “get away from the whole Irish thing.”

Of course, he’s kidding. That’s what he does for a living.

Deborah Large Fox leaves no ancestor unturned.

Local lawyer-turned-genealogist Deborah Large Fox has launched a brand new organization for people looking for their Irish ancestors. The new Irish American Family History Society will meet once a month at the Voorhees branch of the Camden County Library System on the first Thursday of each month.

Fox, whom we profiled here, says she formed the group because most general genealogical organizations can’t address the special needs of researchers tracing their Irish roots—that is, to find family members whose records no longer exist thanks to fire, flood, or Ireland’s turbulent history.

“Irish family historians need to connect to each other to share research strategies,” says Fox. That means a lot of mutual aid—and craic.

“So many genealogists spend their days stuck in archives,” said Fox. “Irish family research is a vibrant, people-centered activity. Remember, the Irish tradition was an oral one. Discoveries, and friends, are made each time Irish researchers get together. Rarely does a meeting go by without a member making a major discovery with the help of others.”

Meetings are informal. Beginners and experienced researchers are welcome. For more information, email the IAFHS at deborahlargefox@gmail.com.

Off to Ireland

Mairead Conley with the first of her crowns.

Mairead Conley, both the Philadelphia and Mid-Atlantic Rose of Tralee, headed off this week to compete with Roses from around the world to bring home the crown in Ireland’s most popular pageant. Mairead is the deputy director of Community Programming at the Irish Immigration Center in Philadelphia. She holds a degree in sociology and spent a year living in poverty with Mercy Volunteer Corps.

She’s also a runner and a singer and harbors a secret desire to work for the FBI. And she’s only 25. (We were never that together at 25.)

If you’d like to see how she does, you can watch her on streaming video at www.rte.ie or join Mairead’s fellow Irish Network-Philly pals at Tir na Nog at 16th and Arch Streets in Philadelphia where manager Ken Merriman will be broadcasting the show live on August 23 and 24 from 3 to 6 PM.
