Irish Night, a new addition to Charly's legendary musical array, will take place every Thursday, 7 to 9:30 p.m. in Flagstaff's Weatherford Hotel.
It features Wild World Irish Fiddle, a blend of authentic, dreamy melodies, stomping jigs and reels with world and Latin twists, as traditional fiddler Kate Rose joins forces with masterful multi-genre guitarist Armand Ramirez.
Result: an intoxicating fusion and original, deeply rooted musical experience.
The icing on the cake: all the dancers out there will love getting down to the fiery sounds, as Kate teaches simple Irish dance moves and configurations to liven your party.
There may even be drinking games or drinking dances. Lovers of Ireland and all things Celtic will connect with poetic interludes and stories from Kate's years in County Clare learning among the fiddling farmers. All ages are welcome, the food is tasty, the drinks are as unique as the historical venue itself.
All dance enthusiasts are also welcome to attend Wild Irish Community Dance at the Montoya Center every 4th Wednesday, 6 to 8 p.m., also with live fiddle and guitar and instruction, all for free (donations welcome), with funding from Creative Flagstaff.
