Celebration of Irish Music
The “season” of Saint Patrick will begin with a Celebration of Irish Music to benefit the currach team of Connecticut, based in New London. Starting at 3:30 pm on Saturday, February 22 at Filomena’s Restaurant, Waterford, two musical groups will alternate singing, playing, and chanty singing until 6:30. Popular local band the Bards of Gungywamp will perform well-known Irish tunes on traditional instruments and internationally-known The Johnson Girls will harmonize with chanteys, encouraging the audience to sing out and clap along to the rhythms of old time maritime work songs.
The concert will benefit the New London team of Currach Rowers, who continue to showcase the art of rowing the ancient vessels, which are still used on the Western coast of Ireland and, more recently, in the U.S. are pitted against other currach rowing teams from the North American Currach Association. The team will host their annual regatta in New London on July 26.
While Ireland claims the design of the vessels and the continuing challenges of the sport, team President Maureen Plumleigh smilingly encourages adults who enjoy a challenge with, “You don’t have to be Irish to step up to a fulfilling challenge and enjoy the camaraderie and Irish culture.”
The afternoon includes a raffle of mainly Irish-themed items, and food and beverages are available from the menu. Tickets are now available via the PayPal QR code, at $25 each plus the modest user fee or click here. A limited number of tickets may be sold at the door as space allows.
Joining the Currach Rowers in preserving Irish customs and culture are the members of the John P. Holland Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, New London as well as the CT Sea Music Festival.
Members of the Spirited Soles Irish Dance Academy will perform their lively jigs and reels during intermission
