GILROY – Get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit by putting on something green and heading down to the Claddagh in Gilroy Monday for some authentic folk music.
Four Shillings Short will bring their Celtic and American folk music to the claddagh in a rare South valley appearance before they finish their West Coast tour and return to Ireland
The concert will take place from 7 to 11 p.m. at the The Claddagh Irish Pub, 1300 First St.
The group also will be performing at the annual parish dinner at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Morgan Hill Sunday.
Four Shillings Short returns to the Bay Area after 2 years out on tour., covering 40 states and Ireland.The Celtic and American folk duo have now completed six years of constant touring. They are back on the West Coast until September, and this will be one of a few appearances in the South Bay before they return to Ireland.
The partners in Four Shillings Short, Aodh Og O’Tuama and Christy Martin, go out on a limb with each show. In a single night the two will use as many as 20 different instruments ranging from a sitar from India to a Renaissance crumhorn.
The group performs traditional Irish tunes, folk ballads, Indian ragas, old-time songs, medieval and Renaissance instrumentals and acappella numbers as well as contemporary folk and original compositions.
The group is originally based out of the Bay Area, but spend most of their time n the road. They have found time, however, to produce several recordings of their original work.
