Our special guest is Ian Gould, a guitarist and singer from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He shares his Irish wit and his striking voice with American audiences. Besides humor, Ian’s shows share pub spirit and conjures images of Ireland. Blending traditional Irish songs with contemporary music, Ian reminds audiences that the only thing better than singing is more singing.

The Saint Patrick Centre
The Saint Patrick Centre is the only permanent exhibition in the World dedicated to Ireland's Patron Saint and one of the top tourist destinations in Ireland. Situated in the heart of Saint Patrick's Country, beside Down Cathedral and Patrick's Grave, we are just 2 hours north of Dublin and 40 mins south of Belfast. The Centre provides a cutting edge interactive exhibition about the life and legacy of Patrick and is a central hub on the new Saint Patrick's Trail through Counties Armagh and Down. As a non-profit organisation we provide reconciliation education programs to thousands of children in Northern Ireland every year as well as running cross border and international youth programs. The Friends of Saint Patrick is a support organisation which is growing around the World to make people aware of our work and the new Northern Ireland.
