The Blarney Star Concert Series: Father Charlie & Jimmy CoenFriday, April 3rd at 9pm
at Glucksman Ireland House
 Monsignor Charles Coen (“Father
Charlie” to his musical friends) was born and raised in Woodford,
County Galway, and emigrated to New York in the 1950’s. He is one of
the finest Irish concertina players in America and is also a superb
flute and whistle player and a much admired traditional singer. The
multi-talented “musical priest” holds the rare distinction of having
won three All-Ireland championships in a single day. Msgr. Coen will
be joined by his nephew, Jimmy, who wields his flatpick both as an accompanist and a solo player of reels, jigs, and hornpipes.
Introduction by Don Meade.
