The Candy Factory, Lancaster’s premiere coworking space, presents The Night of the Big Wind & Shift(h)er on Friday, June 28 and Saturday June 29. The performance is a contemporary interpretive dance piece written and choreographed by Irish dancers, Ailish Claffey and Alicia Christofi-Walshe that explores the story of a hurricane that hit western Ireland in 1839. Ailish and Alicia are joined by two other Irish dancers for a two week residency here in Lancaster leading up to the performances next weekend.

Find more information about the event on the Facebook Event and purchase tickets to the event at Brown Paper Tickets. Info about the residency will be posted on The Candy Factory Facebook page.

The Vulcans

The Vulcans are a regional folk trio with members living in Lancaster, West Chester and Philadelphia. The band recently won first place in the 2013 Songwriting Contest produced by the Philadelphia Songwriter’s Project . Band members Aaron Spangler and John Thomas joined me at The Candy Factory for a chat about how the band came together and their experience with the contest.

Keep up with The Vulcans online at their website and on Facebook and Twitter.
