DERBY - The Derby Public Library invites adults and young adults to an evening of Irish
Songs, Folklore & History at 6:30 p.m. March 11, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
Dublin-born folklorist, humorist, folksinger and instrumentalist, Tom O’Carroll, will bring a wealth of stories, humor, wit, and history to this performance.
O'Carroll has played at concerts, festivals, schools and libraries throughout the United States and Canada, as well as his native Ireland.
This lively program will include such themes as the Irish emigration to the United States, the Great Famine of the 1840s, and an introduction to Ireland’s Traveling People, sometimes called Tinkers.
The evening will end with some favorite Irish-American songs, and the audience is invited to sing along. Irish-themed refreshments will be on hand.
Registration is requested.
For information stop by the library at 313 Elizabeth St., call 203-736-1482 or visit www.derbypubliclibrary.org.
