The Craic rolls on with the Craic Film Festival opening night on March 7, will feature the New York premiere of “One Night in Mill Street.” (Details at the CraicFest's website here.)
Festival Director/founder Terence Mulligan commented: “CraicFest has always been about showcasing the emerging Irish artist and those performers who have something to say. We have three very talented performers at the Craic Session with Oisin Mac, Ciaran Moran, both first-time performing in New York City, and comedian Katie Boyle. Swift Hibernian Lounge is the perfect venue for this type of show. The show is sold out and we have a waiting list going now.” Go to the theocraicfest.com for details.
