St. Paddy’s Day on a Friday! That doesn’t happen often, nor do we get a chance to see the fabulous Wendy MacIsaac on the regular, so we’re exceptionally pleased that she, along with pals Brennan MacDonald & Kolten MacDonell, will handle the musical reins at The Carleton on Friday, March 17th! Doors open at 3 PM, with Dane George & The Old Beef String Band on at 4 PM, An Quon (Irish String Session) at 5 PM and Wendy’s band’s toe-tapping will commence at 8 PM. Admission will be only $10 at the door, so come early and stay late!
