An Evening with Colcannon

Irish Celtic Music at its finest!

THE CONCERT IS STILL ON! WE ARE SHOVELING THE SNOW OFF OF THE WALKS AND THE PARKING LOTS HAVE BEEN PLOWED!

Colcannon (Irish: cál ceannann, meaning "white-headed cabbage") - traditional Irish dish made from potatoes, sweet cream, and kale (or cabbage); also a song about the dish:

"Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream?
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.
Did you ever make a hole on top to hold the melting flake
Of the creamy, flavoured butter that your mother used to make?"

The chorus:

"Yes you did, so you did, so did he and so did I.
And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry.
Oh, wasn't it the happy days when troubles we had not,
And our mothers made Colcannon in the little skillet pot."

And also, an incredible Irish band, appearing again at Center/Stage on February 4, 2012!

Join us for the incredible music of Colcannon! You loved them when they appeared with the Evergreen Chorale in the Shining Night concert (December 2009). Now they are back in an exclusive performance here at Center/Stage!
