7 A
International singing duo to perform at library
The Siuslaw Public Library
once again welcomes Four
Shillings Short, the multi-tal-
ented and entertaining husband
and wife musical duo. The cou-
ple will perform a free family
concert Wednesday, Sept. 6, at
6 p.m., in the Bromley Room at
the library.
Four Shillings Short is a hus-
band and wife music team who
perform a variety of Celtic,
folk and world music. Their
pieces include both traditional
and original compositions from
Celtic lands, Medieval and
Renaissance Europe, India and
the Americas.
The couple, Aodh Og
O’Tuama from Cork, Ireland,
and Christy Martin from
California, have been touring
the United States and Ireland
since 1997, bringing audiences
a rich blend of music. The duo
performs 130 concerts each
year and have released a dozen
recordings.
O’Tuama studied in Ireland
bodhran (Irish frame drum),
charango, bowed psaltery, and
ukulele.
Like her husband, Martin
also sings, not only in English
but also in Irish and Sanskrit.
Together the duo plays over 30
instruments.
The duo’s sound, composed
of Irish tunes, Indian Ragas,
folk songs combined with the
extensive assortment of instru-
ments, has been described as
“alternative neo-Celtic folk.”
Four Shillings Short’s con-
cert is available to all ages for a
two-hour musical journey

to crisis incidents in the
Florence, Swisshome,
Deadwood and Mapleton com-
munities.
They also provide resources,
support and follow up services,
as needed, for our first respon-
ders and community members
after a crisis.
SVFR/WLAD also hired a
part-time coordinator for this
program, who is in the process
of developing several booklets
addressing grief, children’s
grief and local resources for
families in crisis. Their chap-
lains have recently provided
support to several families in
crisis in Deadwood, Mapleton
and Woahink Lake areas.
The FACC hosts meetings
on the first Wednesday of each
month from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in
the Bromley Room of the
Siuslaw Public Library, 1460
Ninth St.
Each month attendees are
invited to donate cash or items
to a local service agency. This
month, FACC is collecting
emergency supplies for the
Siuslaw Elementary and
Middle School.
Both of these schools need
to be able to provide for up to
700 students, grades K-12, for
6 to 72 hours in the event of an
emergency or natural disaster
that would keep students at
school until help could arrive
or students could be picked up
by parents.
Items include: non-perish-
able food items easy to heat
and serve, bouillon cubes,
cocoa or apple cider mixes,
plastic cups, forks, spoons,
bowls and hand wipes.
At FACC's annual board
retreat in July, Alan Bourne and
Sandi Young were elected as
new co-chairs.
FACC membership is open
to all and runs from July 1 to
June 30.
Membership applications
will be available at monthly
meetings, and there is a draw-
ing for a free membership at
each meeting.
