Hey everybody, my name is Eoin Callery and I’m an Irish graduate composition student here at Wesleyan. I play a little bodhran but sadly I can not make the concert on Saturday night as I’ll be performing in the gamelan wyang at the same time. However, I would like to invite those of you who are interested and have no other plans to come to my house- instruments and vocal chords in hand- on Sunday night for a session from 10pm – 2am (ish!). My Address is 49 Brainard Avenue, go through the science center and walk through the car park to the street, take a right, Brainard in the first street about 50 yards up on the left, 49 is the second house on the right side of the street ……..or email me at ecallery@wesleyan.edu……….
Hope to meet you all over the weekend at some time, have a safe trip here
Eoin
How sad that anything Gaelic has to be shoved under the rubric of Irish!
