King of the Irish Pipes

To get your Irish on, and we’re talking real Irish, not just some do-si-do with a leprechaun and too many Guinness, you need to go to the core of your very Irish soul. On Friday, March 16, KCT concerts is providing just the guide.

Paddy Keenan is not exactly a regular on the Island, he doesn’t live here, but he returns often, fiddle in hand, to remind us what Irish music can be in the hands of a master.

Some call him the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes. Others mention he was one of the founding members of the Bothy Band, a seminal group from the 70’s. Those lucky enough to see the Bothy Band play live still emanate a sort of glow about them as if carrying a secret the rest of us will never know.

The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of show. Kids are free.
