March 8th 
2:00-3:30pm 
at Munger Cottage 
(located behind the library building) 

Come enjoy
a concert of traditional Irish Music featuring Brian Conway on fiddle and John Walsh on guitar and vocals. Brian Conway, premier Irish-American fiddler, performs with a skill, grace and force that are steeped in tradition but distinctively his own.  Bronx-born John Walsh took up guitar and was lucky enough to be surrounded by a rich musical heritage where he learned a variety of styles.
