STAIR CHUMANN CARAD NA GAEILGE / HISTORY OF THE PHILO-CELTIC SOCIETY

1960í-1970í / 1960s-1970s

Fuaireamar an r-phost seo ó Phádraigín Uí Raghailligh ar 14 Aibreán 2006:  /  We received this email from Patricia Reilly on April 14, 2006:

I was a member of Philo-Celtic in the 60's and 70's - actually until we were no longer to pay the rent in Astoria (Queens, New York).  We met in the Long Island City Athletic Club off Broadway in Astoria.  Cyril McNiff taught the dancing, Richard Barry the language.

The Irish American Center in Mineola was very generous to us as we did our best to keep the Philo Celtic Society going.  We had a bit of talent, musicians and dancers and we were given the IA to do our show "Impressions of Ireland".  This was a success and other groups hired us to repeat the show.  We kept it up for about a year (I think) and used the money to pay the rent in Astoria.  It got too much and we started losing people and finally gave up the ghost....  - Pat
