Aoife Clancy will perform at Skye Theater Nov. 6. SOUTH CARTHAGE — New England Celtic Arts will present World-renowned entertainer Aoife Clancy at Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. There will be a pre-show jam at 6:15 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to bring their instruments and jam for a few minutes with the artist.

Aoife Clancy (pronounced "eefa") brings a refreshing new voice to folk music, one that ranges from traditional Irish songs to ballads and contemporary folk. Clancy comes from the small town of Carrick-on-Suir, in Co Tipperary, Ireland, where her musical career began at an early age. Her father Bobby Clancy of the legendary Clancy Brothers, placed a guitar in her hands at age 10, and by age 14 she was playing with her father in nearby pubs.

Now with seven recordings under her belt in the last decade, Aoife has clearly established herself as one of the Divas of Irish and contemporary Folk Music. She has recorded two solo projects "It's about Time" and "Soldiers and Dreams" on Rego Records. On her debut CD "It's About Time," Aoife presents some traditional favorites, such as "Factory Girl" and "Mrs. McGrath," but she also presents a sassy rendition of Leon Russelson's "Don't Get Married Girls."

Skye Theater is located three miles West of East Dixfield Village at 2 Highland Drive off Winter Hill Rd. and US RT. 2 in South Carthage. Ticket price is $10 at the door.
