Ireland's Paddy Homan and The Noble Call return to Shepherd of the Prairie March 18

They're back this year by popular demand! Join Paddy Homan and The Noble Call for a special St. Patrick's Day concert on Saturday, March 18, at Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church in Huntley.

It will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the church, 10805 Main St.

Admission to this popular performance is free and donations are gratefully accepted. Bring the family to experience this lively and memorable celebration of traditional Irish music and song.

Sponsored by the SOTP artist series, a community outreach initiative sponsored by Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church, The Noble Call performance is open to the public.

Paddy Homan, one of Ireland's foremost traditional Irish tenors from County Cork, Ireland, and his group The Noble Call will provide guests with an incredible evening of traditional Irish entertainment. The Noble Call derives its origins from the age-old Irish tradition of "calling" on invited guests to share their favorite song, tune, story dance.

Homan adds a layer of warmth and familiarity to his performances, bringing the audience not just closer to the music, but welcomes them into a unique Irish experience. His quick-witted, Cork humor and spontaneity on the stage gave birth to his nickname as " Paddy - The Show-Man- Homan." He has been seen on Chicago's PBS Channel 11-TV and nationally on PBS with his "I Am Ireland" show.

Sit back and listen to some of the very best of Traditional Irish music and song, from some of Ireland's leading musicians. Led by Paddy Homan, The Noble Call also includes award winning virtuoso flute and whistle player Larry Nugent, from County Fermanagh; Brendan Bulger from Boston on Fiddle; James Moore from County Kilkenny; and special guest, traditional Irish Dancer, Danielle Enblom from The Center for Irish Music in Minnesota.
