2020 Irish-American Crossroads Festival
The Irish-American Crossroads Festival is a literary, musical, and cultural event that takes place every year in San Francisco during the month of March.
It is a celebrated annual festival inviting the public to come together around inspired, creative, and relevant events regarding Irish and Irish-American history and culture.
Join another night of music at the Crossroads Festival featuring virtuoso flute and whistle player, Laurence Nugent, performing along with Wicklow concertina player, Paddy Egan.
Laurence Nugent is a virtuoso All-Ireland winning champion of the flute and tin whistle from county Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. He took first prize in a number of competitions in the late 80’s before going on to win the senior All-Ireland Championships in 1994 and 1995 at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, the All-Ireland Music Festival, one of the largest festivals in Europe.
Paddy Egan was born in Parkbridge, near Shillelagh in the foothills of the Wicklow mountains. He has played the concertina since he was seven years old. He has often times travelled out to the Bay area to meet and with many of the local musicians over the years.
