Shalom Ireland, hello New York
There must be something about Irish music and Jews, because so many Jews I know who make music play Irish music. Could be some similar fascination with language – we’re people of the book, and the Irish have so far given us the Book of the Kells and James Joyce. In any event, Andy Rubin posts dates for the NY showings of a new film, “Shalom Ireland,” on the Klezmershack, for which he and friends have done a bang-up fusion of Jewish and Irish musics.
