WITH Brent St Patrick's Day less than a month away, the final four acts to perform at Willesden Green Library on March 17 have been announced.
First up is 'The Mullin Family' who are making a name for themselves on the folk music
scene. The five siblings aged 12 to 19, descend from Mayo and play the accordion, banjo, mandolin, violin, tin whistle and uilleann pipes between them.
London based Aaron Crosbie Academy of Irish Dance will be performing twice during Brent's celebrations.
The academy features award winning dancers who have gone on to join Michael Flatley's highly successful dance show 'Lord of the Dance.'
Back by popular demand is the Mulkere Academy of Irish Music which will feature a thirty piece youth orchestra. Directing them will be founder Brendan Mulkere, who has long been regarded as the doyen of Irish music.
Finally renowned Birmingham Irish Pipes and Drums will be performing hits like 'Wearing of the Green' and 'Dear Old Donegal' on the day.
Brent St Patrick's Day is the only parade which will be held in London on the day itself rather then the closest weekend.
The event is supported by media sponsor The Irish World and Supporting Sponsor Lebara Mobile.
AT a pound a comedian, The Good Ship Comedy Club is a great value for money laugh-a-thon to counteract those Monday blues.
Headlining the latest monthly stand up slot at the Kilburn venue is legend Carl Donnelly, winner of the Best Newcomer Award by chortle.co.uk in 2007.
He'll be supported by Mike Wozniak, Danny Hurst and Martin Hill, and the whole evening will be compered by Liam Speirs.

Over the Christmas period, I was visited by friends from Buckinghamshire who showed me a copy of the Harrow Observer dated June 18 2009 in which a letter appeared called 'Can anyone help my family tree?' from a P J Stanley of Harrow.
The letter referred to Eliza Kemp of 97 Mayo Road, Willesden; Ivy Peacock, Robert Frederick Miller, and Samuel Miller, a railwayman.
