Whether in the stronghold of a Galway chieftain or in the snug corner of a pub in Dublin, the Irish have always delighted in storytelling. Storyteller Patrick Ball shares that delight through spoken word and music. Accompanied by his Celtic brass-strung harp, he will lead you into a world of wit, magic, story and song. Patrick, a native of California, discovered his passion for his heritage by studying the turbulent, lyrical history of the Emerald Isle. He honed his skills as a musician and storyteller in Ireland and the Blue Ridge Ountains of North Carolina and now travels the country with his harp and silver tongue in tow. This event is interpreted for the deaf and hard of hearing.
