Free Irish Music Coming to Horn Pond This Friday

The next SCI Horn Pond Summer Concert at Ice House Park is Friday, August 23, 6-8PM featuring Irish Whispa (https://www.facebook.com/irishwhispaband/). With their driving vocals and upbeat sound, Irish Whispa is usually found playing in pubs across New England.

Although Irish Whispa may be new for several SCI Horn Pond Summer Concert goers, Irish Whispa was featured in the 2015 SCI Horn Pond Summer Concert series. This event is sponsored by Winchester Savings Bank (https://www.winchestersavings.com/).
