| The Bog Band's Mitch Fanning |
The new season for the Blarney Star concert series kicks off this week with more Marylanders coming north to Greenwich Village. Series producer Don Meade has invited the Bog Band led by founder fiddler Mitch Fanning, who leads the music educational programs for the O’Neill-Malcom branch of Comhaltas in the Capital District. Joining him are young up and coming piper and flute player, Patrick Armstrong, who is a student at Fordham University, and Conor Hearn on guitar, and perhaps some other guest artists who may turn up on the night. Two sets starting at 9 p.m. at NYU’s Glucksman Ireland House at One Washington Mews on lower Fifth Avenue. Visit www.blarneystar.com .
