Tim O'Shea & Friends Spring Hooley at Burton Hall

Easton Library would like to announce that Tim O'Shea and Friends will be preforming a FREE Irish Folk music concert at Burton Hall on Saturday, March 25 from 4-6 PM. Tim is now on his US Spring Tour in the Saratoga region and he will bring his songs and tunes from the stunning southwest of Ireland steeped in the Irish Folk Tradition.

Tim is a native of Killarney, Co. Kerry. He has traveled the world wide, playing and performing for over 30 years from India, Europe, Australia, New Zealand to the United States. Tim plays the medieval Baroque Harp, the native Irish drum (the Bodhrán), the guitar, and you will hear contemporary folk songs. Tim has recorded six CD's to date, and has recorded for others also. His latest CD was released in 2017, "Another Skin Too Few", is a tribute to local Kerry musicians no longer with us. He will perform many of the tracks from the CD.

Joining Tim, is Dublin city native, P'adraig Timoney. P'adraig, a multi-instrumentalist himself, plays the fiddle, guitar and sings a song or two. He was raised in the urban Irish Folk Tradition. Expect songs from the Dubliners and Clancy Brothers, as well as lively fiddle dance tunes from all over Ireland.

Dancer Andrew Coletti will add impact to the show. Andrew is an Irish Step Dancer from Latham, NY. He was inspired by a PBS airing of Riverdance, the Irish Step Dance Show sensation. At age 10, young Andrew started to study Riverdance in his living room and was soon enrolled in dance lessons at the Boland School of Irish Dance in Troy, NY. Since then he has competed to reach the highest levels of Irish Dance competition. He has traveled the globe to compete in major championships, Regional, National, as well as the World Championships held in the UK. Since retiring from competition Andrew is an assistant Dance School teacher.

For a good night out, something different entertaining and the last chance "to get your Irish on" after St. Patrick's Day, still in he month of March. Let us celebrate together "An Irish Spring Hooley". See you at 1074 State Route 40 in Greenwich (Easton's Burton Hall). Don't forget to bring your dancing shoes!
