Aine Minogue "To Welcome In the Spring" Concert
Friday, March 19 at 7:00 p.m.

"As I walked out this morning, the air was sweet and clean bushes all along the road were showing tips of green. I leaned against an oak tree to hear if it would sing, it's pulses throbbed and raced like mine to welcome in the spring" (Tomy Makem)

This program consists of music appropriate to the time of year and serves to bid winter a fond farewell. Mixing music and poetry, Aine Minogue invites you to join her on a spellbinding journey through ancient Celtic Lore. For more information about the artist, go to http://www.minogue.com/index.php

Join us in the Meeting room for this free concert. Light refreshments will be served.

Program sponsored by the Friends of the Jonathan Bourne Public Library
