Friday 2/24/06 Athena Ó Lochlainn concert with special guest Mick MoloneyBlarney Star Concert - Friday February 24th, 9pm
Donegal fiddle great Tommy Peoples, who was to have performed on this night, was forced to cancel his trip to the U.S. because of delays in receiving travel documents. We hope to present Tommy at some future date, but are lucky to have the outstanding fiddler Athena Ó Lochlainn in New York this week and available to take his place.
Athena was a Scottish-style fiddle prodigy in her California youth but fell in love with Irish music during an extended stay in Galway. She made a big splash on Broadway a few years ago as the fiddle soloist in Riverdance.
She frequently performs with NYU's own Mick Moloney, who will drop in with his songs, guitar, mandolin and banjo.
No advance tickets. Admission is free for Members of Glucksman Ireland House and NYU students. $15 at the door for all others.
Glucksman Ireland House is located at
One Washington Mews,
on Fifth Avenue between 8th Street and
the Washington Square Arch.
