WAXAHACHIE - To help bring in the green festivities on Thursday, March 17 , in
full Irish style, fourth generation Irishmen Patrick Moriarty of Waxahachie and
Timothy O’Connor of Red Oak present the "Two Irish Tenors."
Hosted by Parson’s Rose, Order of the Confederate Rose and Roberts Camp #178,
Sons of the Confederate Veterans, the evening of light finger foods and Irish
entertainment is sure to be enjoyed by all.
"Being a fourth generation, St. Patrick’s Day was always a big celebration in
my household," said O’Connor.
Moriarty’s generation hails from County Cork – home of the infamous Blarney
Stone and O’Connor hails from County Kerry - one of the twenty-six traditional
counties of the Republic of Ireland.
The reigning duo have been spreading the "luck of the Irish" together for nearly
four years playing senior citizens homes, expos, pubs and even banks.
"We just like to sing Irish tunes, tell Irish jokes and overall, just entertain
and have fun," said O’ Connor.
Finger foods will be served at 6:15 p.m. followed by the "Two Irish Tenors"
performance at 7 p.m. at the Ellis County Women’s Building located at 407 W.
Jefferson in Waxahachie.
