1. OUT AND ABOUT

--- FIRST FRIDAY IS OCTOBER 2

Its time to cool down with some of the best Irish tunes, art, food and libations at the Center. Start your tour of First Friday hot spots at the Center with dinner and our special Irish sesiun musicians.

This month's menu from Chef Hand is a green salad with a herb chicken and wild rice pilaf, topped off with bread pudding.

October's featured artist is Heather J. Kirk. Ms. Heather J. Kirk grew up in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, and as soon as the snow allowed, fled for the warmth of Scottsdale, Arizona, again choosing the convenience of a big city, with the benefits of a family friendly neighborhood.

Ms. Kirk works as a fine art photographer, digital artist, writer and graphic designer. Her work has shown in Art Institute and Gallery of Salisbury, Maryland; dana Gallery in Montana, Gammage Auditorium (Arizona State University), and Herberger Theater and @Central Gallery in Phoenix.

Her writings have been published in Chicken Soup for the Latino Soul, The Bible Advocate, Inglis House Anthology of Disabilities, and Bibliophilos and Dragonfire. Heather’s book of poetry We ... a spirit seeking harmony for a world that’s out of sync takes the reader on a faith journey from pain and loss, to hope and purpose.

Ms. Kirk’s book and photography can be found at www.HeatherJKirk.com, or you can contact her at HJKirk@juno.com.

5. “GIVEWAY” FROM SCOTLAND- CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF CELTIC MUSIC

--- THUR, OCT 1 @ 6:00pm, TUBAC TWILIGHT CONCERT SERIES


Thursday, October 1st @ 6:00pm, Tubac Twilight Concert Series presents “GiveWay” a lively and entertaining Celtic band all the way from the green rolling hills of Scotland! Since coming together in 1998 “GiveWay” has been meteoric! In the short time since the girls chose the name GiveWay (on their way to a gig and after passing numerous Give Way road signs!) they have rocketed onwards and upwards with much enthusiasm from listeners all around the UK, Europe, and the USA. The group is comprised of four sisters from Scotland with beautiful vocals, Celtic fiddle, guitar, whistles, accordion, and drums. “GiveWay” plays a delightful mixture of Scottish traditional music and haunting airs, to lively jigs and energetic reels.

After playing in competitions and clubs all over the UK, “GiveWay” got their real break when they won a prestigious 'Danny Award' at Celtic Connections in 2001. Later the same year the band was placed first in the BBC Radio 'Young Folk Awards'. “GiveWay” was also invited to take part in the BBC 1 "Hogmanay Live" television show, sharing the stage with a host of big artists, including pals Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain. They’ve performed on numerous radio/television shows as well.

From an early age, music was at the heart of all the sisters did; at five years old, Fiona started playing the fiddle, Kirsty picked up an accordion at four, Amy started on the accordion at five later switching to drums at age thirteen, and Mairi was playing keyboards at the age of six. “GiveWay” encompasses youthful vibrancy, lively confidence and skilled talent - an inspired combination indeed!
This young all-female band can belt out some thunderous sounds, yet just as easily slip into something gentle and very comforting. On tour in the US, the four Scots sisters have thrown off their precocious child folkie tag and are rapidly turning into a Scottish sensation. Get ready to slip into your dancing shoes, for this is one sizzling group you surely won’t want to miss!
"Bursting with evidence of virtuosity, flair & disarming maturity" - Daily Telegraph
The concert will take place at the Tubac Plaza Main Stage next to the “Out Of The Way Galleria” at 29 Tubac Plaza in Tubac, Arizona. All ages welcome. ADMISSION: Ages 12 & up - $15 advance; $18 day of show; Ages 6-11 - $7.50 advance; $9 day of show; 5 & under – Free.

12. THE PATTY BOYLE MCCROSSAN MUSICAL SCHOLARSHIP

MISSION STATEMENT

The founders of The Irish Crafters Group has established a scholarship in the name of Patty Boyle McCrossan in recognition of your contribution to the Irish community in Phoenix AZ. Patty with her husband Pat owned and operated the Irish store “Ireland Own” for a number of years. Patty was cheerful, helpful, and knowledgeable of all aspects of Irish culture whether it was music or history. Patty was always ready to help people or animals in any way possible. Her contributions to Phoenix are being honored by this scholarship which will provide scholarships to Irish heritage students at the Irish Cultural Center for music lessons provided by her husband Pat McCrossan in keeping with the
Irish Cultural Center’s statement as a learning center.

Administration

The Patty Boyle McCrossan Musical Scholarship will provide $100.00 per semester for two students of Irish heritage that could not attend these lessons otherwise due to financial hardship. The lessons are to be provided solely by Pat McCrossan as their teacher.

This scholarship is funded completely by the treasury of the Irish Crafters Group
for seven semesters for two deserving students. Students will provide to Pat McCrossan an application showing their Irish heritage and financial need. The committee members will review with Pat the applications and select two deserving students per semester. Those that have demonstrated their successful completion of the class, may apply for up to three additional class scholarships. Pat McCrossan will be responsible to evaluate the success of their
class work. One additional requirement is that they attend all class in a semester, unless they can provide proof of illness.

The committee may change the rules of this scholarship with a majority vote as needed. Any committee member who has to resign, their position will not be refilled.
