A bit of the Emerald isle in Fayette

Coffee house features star-studded lineup for St. Pat’st

Stars on the Southern Crescent coffee house's third annual St. Patrick's Day Festival, slated for March 10, 11 and 12 at the Fayette Family YMCA, boasts an all-star line-up.

Among the talent scheduled to perform is Moira Nelligan, who will be making her second appearance at the popular Southside coffee house March 11.  A featured performer at Celtic Christmas at Emory for the past 10 years, she has also appeared at the North Georgia Folk Festival, the Savannah Folk Festival, the Savannah Irish Festival, the Atlanta Celtic Festival, the Decatur Arts Festival, Eddie's Attic, and the James Joyce Pub in Avondale Estates. Her recent CD, entitled "I Give You Music," debuted last fall.

The diverse entertainment includes March 10’s Barney's Goat, Duncan and Glaucia McLauchlan, and Lost Boys.  On March 11, Long Drop and the Peachtree Wind Ensemble join Moira Nelligan on stage. KnightSong and Three Quarter Ale appear March 12.

Tickets are $9 each and are available in advance at the Peachtree City Library and the Fayette County Library. 

The Fayette Family YMCA is located at 215 Huiet Road, Fayetteville, between Peachtree City and downtown Fayetteville.  The doors open at 7:45 each evening, and the show starts at 8:15 p.m.  Patrons who bring their own mugs receive a discount on hot beverages and are eligible for the "Most Unusual Mug" award. 

For additional information, call Offshoot Productions, producers of Stars on the Southern Crescent since 1993, at (770) 631-2362 or e-mail the company at offshootpr@aol.com.  Volunteers are always welcome and get to see the show for free.

The event is made possible in part by the Grassroots Award, a program of the Georgia Council for the Arts through appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly and in partnership with Arts Clayton.
