Moon & Sixpence Benefit Concert
The Irish pop/country group The Moon & Sixpence appeared at the Irish Arts Center for a sellout engagement on October 17 & 18, 2008. The IAC performances marked the U.S. debut for the group, which is well known in Ireland for performing pro-bono in support of charitable organizations. The concerts, which were initiated and organized by James J. Houlihan, raised more than $20,000 in support of Irish Arts Center programming.
