The White Sulphur Springs Library announced that traditional Irish and Celtic musician, Patrick O’Flaherty, will perform at the library on Tuesday, Nov. 9, beginning at 6 p.m. Light refreshments will follow this free program.
Raised in Galway’s Gaeltacht, on the rugged west coast of Ireland, Patrick is part of a select group whose native language is Gaelic. His professional music career has spanned over three decades, and his performance venues include the Mall in Washington, D.C., Norte Dame University, and the Milwaukee Irish Festival, to name a few. During that time he performed with two excellent bands, The Celtic Folk and The Poor Clares, whose second album, “Change of Habit,” reached the national charts.
O’Flaherty is considered a fine practitioner of the Irish mandolin and harmonica. He is also a highly respected player of the button accordion and banjo. He has been able to share his lovely music with notable people such as Pope John Paul II, President Ronald Reagan and now, you. Join in for an evening of music, laughter and song. The library is located at 344 Main Street West in White Sulphur Springs. Call 304-536-1171 if you have any questions.
