The Great Irish Famine was one of the most devastating humanitarian disasters of the nineteenth century. In a period of only five years, Ireland lost approximately one-quarter of her population through a combination of death and emigration. 
A lesser-known aspect of the Famine is the extent to which people throughout the world mobilized to provide money, food and clothing to assist the starving Irish.  Many donors had no connection with Ireland; yet, without the kindness of these strangers, many, many more lives would have been lost.

-02/22/14 - Celtic Nights will be performed at Brazosport College in Lake Jackson

Celtic Nights will be performed at The Clarion Theater at Brazosport College in Lake Jackson in Brazoria County on Sat, Feb 22 at 7:30pm. 

02/22/2014      Celtic Nights  7:30pm           $35
http://www.brazosport.edu/Clarion/Pages/Upcoming-Events.aspx

Celtic Nights, a two hour showcase, of the rich heritage of the island and its culture, will bring us to that place that many emigrants now call home. The United States of America is where people from all lands have been welcomed through Ellis Island and the now adjoining Airports of New York City and beyond. The show mirrors the journey that these emigrants took, and all the emotions that go along with it.

Six of Irelands most accomplished dancers mirror six of its finest voices to present a spell-binding and exhilarating picture of a proud people and their passion.

Celtic Nights will capture the essence of a great people from a small Island and their journey of hope and desire.

This cross-generational show shares the culture of Irish emigrants in America.

*03/17/14 - St Patrick's Day at the Mucky Duck

St Patricks Day
March 17, 11 AM

Advance Tickets:  $20.00
Ticket price at the door: $22.00

What we celebrate on St. Patrick's Day is the whole of Celtic culture, and a musical tradition that, over the centuries, has become as much American roots music as bottleneck guitar. The drums of western Africa are what gave American music its rhythm; more often than not, though, the melody is Celtic.

The popularity of Celtic folk music is either a testament to the timeless appeal of these sometimes haunting, sometimes hilarious, sometimes jig-inspiring tunes, or perhaps an argument in favor of the nebulous theory of racial memory.

Celtic blood-ties real, suspected and imagined have given many the impetus to learn the folk-arts of the ancient tribes; a great way to explore Irish music and tradition.

For the celebration, our entire property is covered under a big-top tent and we showcase traditional and contemporary Celtic music and dance inside and outside the Duck throughout the day. There is seating in both areas on a first come - first served basis.

Entertainment:

E.J. Jones
Clandestine
Circa Paleo
