“Come away, O human child!/ To the waters and the wild…” ~ W. B. Yeats
Michael Waugh, owner of Wild West Irish Tours, will present, “The Waters and the Wild”, a music and video presentation about the magical places, music, dance, and people of the West of Ireland, where he lives for 6 months a year providing tours in “The Land of Heart’s Desire.”
Don’t miss what promises to be a great program from someone who used to live in Tidewater and was active in the local Celtic community then!
ALSO, several of our talented local Irish step dancers (Lisa Lisa Hunt Burgess, Maggie Wilcox, & Anne-Bernadette Dail) will be teaching a FREE Irish Ceili Dance Class for us before the meeting! Please be there in comfortable shoes and clothes ready to have a good time from 6:15-7:00 pm if you have any interest in Irish social dancing! This is for all ages from the wee ones to the young-at-heart. NO PARTNER OR PRIOR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!!! Bring friends to join in the fun!
Ceili dancing will start at 6:15 pm and end at 7 pm; a brief business meeting will begin at 7:00 pm. After the business meeting, refreshments will be available, and then we will present the program.
You don’t have to be an official member to attend. The more the merrier – bring a friend! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! 🙂
