   About Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra
Founded in 2000, The Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra [WSHSO] is led by Professor Mick Moloney and based at New York University. We play traditional Irish music with a focus on older tunes, tunes with New York City history, and tunes with interesting stories attached. Our repertory and sound recalls that of the Irish-American dance bands of the early twentieth century, including The Four Provinces Orchestra, Dan Sullivan’s Shamrock Band, Pat Roche’s Harp and Shamrock Orchestra, and Erin’s Pride Orchestra. While you may find other, similar groups out there, beware of imitators--there is no group out there so uniquely able to add a sense of occasion to all manner of events.
