SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Irish Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Pittsburgh Irish Festival\, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation created to contribute to the rich cultural awareness of Irish history and tradition that exists in Pittsburgh. In addition to our three day “Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Festival\,” the Pittsburgh Irish Festival has expanded into a year-round resource for education and cultural programs through the creation of the Irish Education Outreach Program. The Program’s primary objective is to create a higher awareness of the ethnic richness and significance of the Irish and Irish-American culture and presence\, from both a historic and contemporary perspective. In-service consultants are available to community groups and organizations as well as to interested school districts. In addition to cultural presentations\, our consultants provide Irish studies workshops for teachers. Materials are multidisciplinary in design\, combining and integrating study of the following areas: Arts\, History\, Patron Saints\, Dance\, Irish in America\, Sports Economy\, Language\, Symbols Geography\, Music\, Tourism. \nFRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 5\, 2014\nEA – Emerald Amphitheatre\, CS – Celtic Spirit Stage\, MPS – Magners Pub Stage\, HS – Hedge School \n\n4:00 pm Macdonald Pipe Band of Pittsburgh (EA)\nThe Wild Geese (MPS)\n4:15 pm Donnie Irish (CS)\n5:00 pm Whiskey Limerick (EA)\n5:30 pm Socks in the Frying Pan (CS)\n5:45 pm Terry Griffith (MPS)\n6:15 pm The Willis Clan (EA)\n6:45 pm Moxie (CS)\nMike Gallagher (MPS)\n7:30 pm Screaming Orphans (EA)\n8:00 pm Red Hand Paddy (CS)\nHooley and Ceili Dancing with Liz Shovlin (MPS)\n8:45 pm POGEY (EA)\n9:15 pm Corned Beef and Curry (CS)\n10:00 pm Scythian (EA)\n\n** Program Subject to Change\nSATURDAY\, SEPTEMBER 6\, 2014 \nEA – Emerald Amphitheatre\, CS – Celtic Spirit Stage\, MPS – Magners Pub Stage\,\nHS – Hedge School \n\n11:15 am RichPatrick (EA)\nChildren’s Irish Dance Matinee (CS)\n11:30 am Dennis Doyle (MPS)\n12:00 pm Beginning Irish Language – Marie Young (HS)\n12:30 pm Matthew Craig and The Kerry Tipper Band (EA)\nThe Wild West of Ireland: Experiencing Great Things in the Simplest Places –\nTrish O’Donnell Jenkins (Wild West Tours) (HS)\n12:45 pm Slua (MPS)\n1:00 pm Tom Sweeney (CS)\nTales of Irish Rogues and Rascals – Alan Irvine (storyteller) (HS)\n1:30 pm Shovlin Academy of Irish Dance (EA)\nFolklore\, Faith and Family – Arthur Cola (Author) (HS)\n2:00 pm Burke Conroy School of Irish Dance (EA)\nRice Bros. & Clear Blue Sunday (MPS)\nIntroduction to Highland Pipes\, Smallpipes\, and Uilleann Pipes with George\nBalderose\, Robert Felsburg\, and Evan Kenepp (HS)\n2:15 pm Screaming Orphans (CS)\n2:30 pm Steel Shamrocks\, An Irish Immigrant Family Rises in 19th Century Pittsburgh –\nDavid Quinn (Author)(HS)\n3:00 pm Makem and Spain (EA)\nDennis Doyle (MPS)\nMore Tales of Irish Rogues and Rascals – Alan Irvine (storyteller) (HS)\n3:30 pm Socks in the Frying Pan (CS)\nIrish Names ~ Their Origins and Meanings – Sean Webber (HS)\n4:15 pm The Willis Clan (EA)\nTerry Griffith (MPS)\nAncient Sport of Hurling – Pittsburgh Hurling Club (HS)\n4:30 pm Bodhran Techniques – Kip Ruefle (HS)\n4:45 pm Evans and Doherty (CS)\n5:00 pm Songs of Tommy Makem – Rory Makem (HS)\n5:30 pm POGEY (EA)\nMatt and Shannon Heaton (MPS)\nWhy the Great Hunger – David Donnell (Author) (HS)\n6:00 pm Moxie (CS)\nTune Stylings – Socks in the Frying Pan (HS)\n6:30 pm Bell School of Irish Dance (EA)\n6:45 pm Rice Bros. & Clear Blue Sunday (MPS)\n7:00 pm Irish Ghost Stories – Alan Irvine (storyteller) (HS)\n7:15 pm Socks in the Frying Pan (CS)\n7:30 pm Ballad Traditions with Tom Sweeney\, Evans and Doherty\,\nand Makem and Spain (EA)\n8:00 pm Hooley and Ceili Dancing with Liz Shovlin (MPS)\n8:30 pm Screaming Orphans (CS)\n8:45 pm POGEY (EA)\n9:45 pm Bastard Bearded Irishmen (CS)\n10:00 pm Scythian (EA)\n\n** Program Subject to Change\nSunday\, September 7\, 2014 \nEA – Emerald Amphitheatre\, CS – Celtic Spirit Stage\, MPS – Magners Pub Stage\,\nHS – Hedge School \n\n10:00 am Irish Mass with Father Naos McCool\, C.S.Sp.
