Rarely do Houstonians have a chance to hear one traditional Irish musician from the heartland of the west of Ireland, and even more rare is the experience of hearing several together. Join the University of St. Thomas Center for Irish Studies Cultural Outreach Forum and The Irish Society for the “Traditional Irish Music Concert.” The concert will include a special group appearance of these talented musicians –uilleann piper Paddy Keenan and guitarist and vocalist Tommy O’Sullivan. Dave Ferman of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has said that together Keenan and O’Sullivan are the “finest pipes-guitar duo ever.” O’Sullivan will also perform with the band, Sliabh Notes, which features O’Sullivan, Matt Cranitch from Cork (fiddle) and Donal Murphy (accordion) from Abbeyfeale.

The concert costs $15 for adults, and students are free with ID. First-come, first-served. Parking is available for $2 in the Moran Center, 3807 Graustark at W. Alabama.
