Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (Sun., Mar. 17) at Best Video Film & Cultural Center with Failte (Irish for "welcome"). Enjoy a pint and a lively evening of Irish dance tunes featuring fiddles, Irish blackwood flute, whistles, octave mandola, bodhran and banjo.

The show starts at 5 PM and the cover is $10.

Jim Sirch, Willow Sirch, and Gary Wikfors met performing together as part of the venerable New Haven-based band The Fiddleheads, with its New England contra dance repertoire. Jim, Willow, and Adam Work met playing at the traditional Sunday afternoon session at the Playwright Irish Pub in Hamden.

The group will draw from traditions that have inspired them over the years, presenting a repertoire of tunes and songs, some of which have been vigorously preserved and passed down over generations, with other more recent compositions. Enjoy an evening of memorable songs, haunting airs, and cheerful jigs and reels performed by these longtime musical friends.
