An Evening with the Belfast Boys in Hickory NC

Hickory Music Factory presents a “True” Irish St, Paddy’s Day celebration complete with real traditional Irish food, brew and most of all an evening with the Belfast Boys.

March 17, 2012 at the Main Cellar City Club located at 332 1st Ave, in downtown Hickory NC.

Doors open at 6:30 pm.

Tickets for Clan Seating are $25 and include a Traditional Irish Dinner and a Guinness.

The menu includes:
Carved Brisket
Hunter’s Pie
Root Vegetables
Braised Cabbage
Irish Whiskey Bread Pudding

THE BELFAST BOYS are Alyn Mearns (guitar & vocals) and Adrian Rice (mandolin, bodhran & vocals).

Classically trained, Mearns is well-known as a consummate guitarist and inspired singer-songwriter, whose work with his ex-band, Airspace, won many plaudits from those in the know. A new solo album of his own music is forthcoming.

Rice is a musician and Irish poet of distinction. With book-cover recommendations from Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney, his published poetry has found its way into the collections of London’s Tate Gallery, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and The Lamont Library at Harvard, amongst others. Rice’s new chapbook of poems – ‘Hickory Haiku’ – will be published by Finishing Line Press (Kentucky) in August 2010.

Mearns and Rice both hail from the troubled streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Mearns has lived in the States since his late teens, but Rice only settled in Hickory (NC) in 2005, having come to Lenoir-Rhyne College as their Visiting Writer-in-Residence.
