Sean Kane
Sean Kane brings four friends and his acoustic folk rock to our Pub. Don't miss this song writer who captures the essence of those who are "caught between two places" sharing cultures and lands.
Sean Kane writes acoustic folk rock songs, inspired by the Irish and American traditional sound, about people on the borders of nationality, identity, and culture. People caught between two places, physically and emotionally: immigrants, expatriates, and outsiders of every profession and persuasion. His song, "A Nation of One," has been featured on NPR's Open Mic. Sean will be appearing in the Celtic Nations Pub with a four piece band.

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Ceilí Band
The Hanifin-Cooley Branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann founded the Traditional Music School in 1997 to give Boston area students a traditional Irish music school that represents the highest standards of professional musical instruction in the traditional instruments. The school has been blessed to be affiliated with the Irish Studies Program at Boston College and the Celtic Department at Harvard University.
Classes are available on Fiddle, Flute, Whistle, Uilleann Pipes, Anglo Concertina, Button Accordion, Harp, Guitar, and Bodhrán for two 12-week terms during the school year with the fall term at Harvard University and the spring term at Boston College. Classes are assigned by student level, with limited class enrollment. In addition, we offer an audition based competitive Ceilí Band!
Under the direction of Administrator Tim O'Connell, Executive Director John Kearney, and Hanafin Cooley Chairman Larry Reynolds, the CCÉ Boston Music School was founded for the express purpose of preserving and cultivating the rich cultural treasure that is traditional Irish music, by providing the opportunity for students at all ages and levels to develop their skills under expert instructors.
