Irish Round Table, Tues 5/15, 7:30 (other info, too) (by Maureen Moore, published Thursday, 10 May 2012 00:00) Irish Round Table, Program for Tuesday May 15th, 7:30 pm
Ogham Art, Ancient Irish Writing
Guest presenters: Chris & Colleen Conway
Knights of St. Patrick — 1533 State St.— New Haven
Free and open to the public.
Our ancestors in the era A.D. 200-400 used the latest technology available when it came to messaging. They sensibly put to use the many rocks that abound in the Irish countryside. It was “stone-on-stone” technology, says Chris Conway, who with his wife Colleen will introduce us to the story of the earliest written language of Ireland at the May Irish History Round Table meeting. Chris learned about ogham, which is pronounced “o’-hem,” while a student at Trinity College in Dublin in the 1990s. In 2010, he and Colleen started an online business featuring the use of ogham in such gifts as prints, stationery and jewelry. At the meeting, he will present an overview of the origin and uses of ogham, including theories that examples of ogham are to be found in the United States. Colleen will explain the design and incorporation of ogham into modern day items. The Conways will display the items they have created.Please join us for this journey back to the customs of ancient Ireland. The Conways were a new vendor for our Irish festival in 2011.

Invitation from John Whelan and Comhaltas 5/17/12 (by Maureen Moore, published Wednesday, 02 May 2012 00:00) P.V. O’Donnell CCE is pleased to announce that our guest on Thursday, May 17th will be uilleann piper Jerry O’Sullivan.
You are invited to join us at St. Gabriel Parish Hall, 26 Broadway, Milford, CT. As always, all are welcome, admission is free, free refreshments. BYOB. Slow session starts at 7:30
Jerry O'Sullivan has been widely hailed as America's premier uilleann piper. His reputation for technical and melodic mastery of the instrument, an Irish bagpipe known for its subtlety and expression, is unsurpassed in the United States, and is demanding considerable attention overseas. Jerry is also widely recorded on the tin whistle, the low whistle, the Highland Pipes and the Scottish smallpipes.
Jerry has appeared on more than 90 albums and has performed or recorded with artists such as The Boston Pops, Don Henley, Paul Winter, James Galway, Dolly Parton, The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, The Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Eileen Ivers, and many others. He was a featured soloist on Paul Winter's GRAMMY winning album, Celtic Solstice (Living Music, 1999). His first two solo albums, The Gift (Shanachie,1998), and The Invasion (Green Linnet, 1987) have both received critical acclaim, quickly finding their way to the top of a number of "best albums of the year" lists. Jerry has released a solo album, O'Sullivan Meets O'Farrell (Jerry O'Sullivan Music, 2005), which features music from the 200 year old O'Farrell tutor and tune collections. Most recently he has released the much anticipated O'Sullivan Meets O'Farrell (Volume II.) ( Jerry O'Sullivan Music 2010.) Jerry has also recorded a number of film soundtracks including From Shore to Shore, The Long Journey Home, Far and Away, Africans in America, and Out of Ireland, and has appeared on numerous television commercials.
