With so many celebrations, it should be called St. Patrick's Days. Keep the momentum going with "A St. Patrick's Day Celtic Sojourn With Brian O'Donovan." WGBH presents an evening of music and dance featuring the Irish five-piece band Teada, singer and accordian player Seamus Begley, Irish-American singer-songwriter Carol Noonan, guitarists Kevin Barry and Duke Levine, and piper Michael Cooney. - June Wulff, Globe Staff

An offshoot of Brian O’Donovan’s weekly WGBH show, this year’s “Sojourn’’ will feature a serious slate of musicians including Irish quintet Téada and Carol Noonan accompanied by Kevin Barry and Duke Levine.--Sarah Rodman, Globe Staff

This year's version of the annual show will feature a dynamic young five-piece band from Ireland called Téada, who will be joined by a truly iconic singer and accordion player, Séamus Begley, from the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. Also on the bill is Irish American singer-songwriter Carol Noonan, accompanied by guitar gods Kevin Barry and Duke Levine. And we are delighted to introduce uilleann piper, Tiperarry-born, Michael Cooney. (Uilleann pipes are the Irish form of the bag pipes.)

As has become a tradition for the show, dancers and some very special surprise musical guests will also be added.
