Blarney Star Concerts at the New York Irish Center

Starting in September, the New York Irish Center will be hosting monthly "Blarney Star" concerts of traditional music.

Saturday October 22nd at the N.Y. Irish Center L.I.C.
Reception: 7.00pm   Concert: 8.00pm

This annual concert raises funds to support the Mercy Center, a charity that serves the poorest of poor children in the slums of Bangkok, Thailand. Cork-born singer Donie Carroll initiated these concerts and has recruited a stellar lineup for this year's event, which will also serve as a tribute to the late Mick Moloney, who introduced Donie to the Mercy Center and performed at all the previous concerts. Performers will include the famed singer/songwriter Tommy Sands and some of Mick's "Green Fields of America" bandmates, including button accordionist Billy McComiskey, concertina player/singer Brenda Castles and fiddler/singer Liz Hanley. Pianist/flute player Brendan Dolan, uilleann piper Cillian Vallely, fiddler Heather Bixler, the Niall O'Leary dancers and Donie Carroll himself will perform. Tickets are $70 each, and early booking is advisable. Text or call Donie at 917-723-7488 to secure your ticket which also includes a wine reception and finger food.
