On Wednesday, October 28 at 7 PM, the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley invites you to join them for tales and songs that celebrate Ireland’s Samhain (Halloween) tradition.
In this darkening time of year, Samhain -- pronounced “Sow-in” -- arrives to herald autumn down its slide to winter, when the barrier between the living and the dead is thinnest. Members of Craobh Dugan-O’Looney - performing as Amadán Dubh - promise to embrace the dark and shorten the night, presenting stories and songs collected in 19th century rural Ireland, from a time when science wasn’t so sure of itself. Brave attendees can expect tales and tunes of banshees and fiends, musical fairies - not the nice kind - and of course ghosts.
Amadán Dubh?
The name Amadán Dubh hails from Irish folklore and refers to the “dark fool” or “dark fairy.” A trickster fairy, Amadán Dubh is the “…bringer of madness and oblivion… haunting the hills after sunset, playing reed pipes to work his magic.” And for this performance, Amadán Dubh possesses Craobh Dugan-O’Looney musicians Sue Romero, Mike Hoke and Mike Carroll.
I’m Interested… Maybe a little scared, but interested… How do I get there?
