Posted on Mar 01, 2010
A sell-out crowd of more than 500, including Robert O’Keefe, 2010 Grand Marshall of the Greater Bridgeport St. Patrick’s Day Parade, helped celebrate Irish Night at Lauralton Hall on February 27. The sounds of thundering bagpipes and drums filled the gym as the Fairfield Gaelic Pipe Band marched in, signifying the start of this spectacular event. Guests rose to their feet to applaud the award-winning band, the beginning of an evening filled with many ovations. Celtic Music Master and Lauralton faculty member Damien Connolly and his band TRAD roused the crowd with foot stomping traditional Irish music. By popular demand, the trio played additional tunes before leaving for another gig. Patty K. Lenihan, owner of Lenihan School of Irish Dance, Monroe, presented a skilled & flawless show of world champion Irish Step Dancers performing in full costumes of traditional and contemporary design. The dancers were unable to perform in hard shoe in fear of marring the gym floor; however, Ms. Lenihan urged the crowd to stomp and clap along with the dancers.
