Fri Mar 1, 7:00 PM - Fri Mar 1, 9:00 PM

Ring in Saint Patrick’s Day in an authentically traditional way! Join international Celtic fingerstyle guitar master Pat Kirtley and Celtic recording artists na Skylark for a magical two hours of inspired music in the beautifully restored performance space at “The St Catherine.” Wine, beer, and desserts available from The Bristol Catering.
Pat Kirtley is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning touring guitarist and composer known for his rich Celtic fingerstyle arrangements of traditional music including the works of Turlach O’Carolan and others. His 40-year career includes more than 10 recordings considered masterpieces in several musical genres, and his books and tutorials are essentials to students of both finger- and thumbstyle guitar. It’s a rare chance to catch this Kentucky native performing at home, but here’s yours!
na Skylark, which simply means “the skylarks” in Irish, plays the historic and traditional music of Ireland, Scotland, and other Celtic lands on Ireland’s national instruments: the Irish harp and the uilleann (“elbow”) pipes, weaving these voices and others – Irish song, flutes and whistles, fiddle, and the Appalachian dulcimer – into a tapestry of sound and feeling listeners have described as “deeply touching” “authentic,” and “soul-food for my Irish heart.” na Skylark’s “Old Ceol” was selected as one of the best new recordings of 2017 by “Celtic Connections” radio.
