It's been slower than many would like, but the sounds of live musical performances in the Greenbrier Valley have been heard in the last several months. This is in large part because of Local 674 providing opportunities and securing funding grants to pay for performances. Join us and perform with the professionals!

Ireland’s Musical Heritage, a free program featuring acclaimed performer and songwriter Patrick O’Flaherty, will be presented by the Greenbrier County Public Library Sunday, July 25, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The multi-talented O’Flaherty has many notable aspects to his biography, including once performing for Pope John Paul II and writing songs in a Celtic language that is almost lost. He plans to bring along several instruments, including the Irish button accordion, mandolin, harmonica and tenor banjo.

In addition to enjoying music, attendees will have a unique opportunity to question and converse with Patrick O’Flaherty at this special July event, which celebrates the 14th anniversary of the opening of the library facility at 152 Robert W. McCormick Dr. in downtown Lewisburg.
