Celebrate St. Patrick's Day and come on down for this great afternoon of entertainment!  The world class Irish folk group, The Makem & Spain Brothers, return to Fall River for the annual Bristol Elder Services Emergency Assistance Fundraiser. Every generation has a few acts that define where a musical genre is going, performers so confident in their chosen field that they are able to completely embrace the genre and yet introduce something new to it. In Irish folk music today, that act is the Makem & Spain Brothers. Not in the past 30 years has a group taken the international stage with such vocal power and stage presence, capturing the essence of their genre, while standing out as something truly unique. A host of various instruments and five male vocals, using precise three-part harmonies blend perfectly for what many have described as a wall of sound. The Makem & Spain Brothers are at their best onstage where their talent and enthusiasm draw in fans who have never experienced the joy of folk music.  Tickets are $25 each.  For tickets and information contact Bristol Elder Services at 508-675-2101 or www.bristolelder.org.
