‘Riverdance’ star to join Irish celebration at Scherr

"Kerry Records will present the third annual Irish Hooley (“boisterous party”) in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day at 2 p.m. Sun., March 6 at the Scherr Forum, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd.

This year, the lineup of artists is made up of “Riverdance” star Patrick Barnett, Irish actor Sheelagh Cullen, singers Laura Turner and Robyn Heller, Irish harpist Keri Lynn Zwicker, fiddler Bella Issakova, uilleann piper Patrick D’Arcy, instrumentalist Zac Leger and members of the Kerry Dance Troupe.

The hooley was for generations the highlight of Irish social life. The hooley took place in homes, dance halls, school houses and on the boats that traveled from Ireland to America in the early 20th century when immigrants brought their instruments with them to the New World.

Tickets are on sale at the Civic Arts Plaza box office and at Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. For group sales, call the box office at (805) 449-2387."
