Tomáseen Foley’s Irish Times brings to exhilarating life the joyous memory of the traditional céilí gatherings at weddings, wakes, and solstice celebrations, when the neighbors would bring their instruments with them — uilleann pipes, fiddles, bodhráns, tin whistles and flutes, for an evening of fiery music, stirring ballads, foot-stomping traditional dances, and — of course, stories — from the man who has been called Ireland’s Garrison Keilor and a master of the Irish narrative, Tomáseen Foley.
Rekindle the flame in the hearth with stories, music, song and dance from the rich treasury of Ireland’s cultural heritage native Irish storyteller Tomáseen Foley and some of the most gifted Celtic musicians, dancers and singers performing anywhere today, on either side of the Atlantic.
Storyteller/Director Tomáseen Foley was born on a small farm in the remote parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin in the West of Ireland. Each year from Thanksgiving until Christmas, his show Tomáseen Foleys A Celtic Christmas plays to critical acclaim and packed concert halls around the US.
Tomáseen Foley’s Irish Times tours throughout the remainder of the year. The Oregon Cabaret has developed a hit musical from his story Parcel From America. He has released two CDs: A Celtic Christmas: Parcel From America, and a live recording, The Priest and the Acrobat. Visit www.tomaseenfoley.com for additional information.
