Apropos to Kerith Spencer-Shapiro's announcement, those interested in Irish 
Jewry and, particularly for this list, Jewish and Irish music, I have an update 
in the scheduled showings of Shalom Ireland, Valerie Lapin Ganley's documentary 
portrait of the Irish Jewish community, past and present (see below).

(As I announced last month to the Jewish Music list, the soundtrack for this 
movie was done by Ceilizemer, a melding of the Sacramento Jewish group The 
Freilachmakers Klezmer String Band and the Oakland Irish group Driving With 
Fergus. The music, which is resolutely acoustic and traditional, can be 
obtained on CD at www.cdbaby.com or through the website of either of these 
bands:  www.freilachmakers.com  or  www.drivingwithfergus.com)

Moedim l'simcha!!

>From the filmmaker:
Shalom Ireland chronicles the history of Irish Jewry while celbrating the 
unique culture created by blending Irish and Jewish traditions. From gun 
running for the Irish Republican Army during Ireland's War of Independence to 
smuggling fellow Jews escaping from the Holocaust into Palestine, Shalom 
Ireland tells the untold story of how Irish Jews participated in the creation 
and development of both Ireland and Israel.
