Irish folklorist Tom O’Carroll to play benefit show for Brooks library

BRATTLEBORO — Join the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library in a fundraising event to celebrate James Joyce and Bloomsday.

“Dublin in Song and Story” with musician and Irish folklorist Tom O'Carroll will be presented on Thursday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the library's Main Room.

In this program, O'Carroll tells the tales and sings the songs of his native city, the capital city on the River Liffey, which has an abundance of history and colorful characters Tom will introduce you to. This program is ideal for those interested in Irish literature.

Whether playing a plaintive air on the tin whistle or singing and playing rousing traditional songs to the accompaniment of the guitar or the bodhrán (Irish drum), O'Carroll captivates.
