Bing Crosby’s nephew in Heritage Centre

-

This October marks the 40th Anniversar­y of Bing Crosby’s death (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977).

In celebratio­n of his life and his connection to Ireland, award winning Classical Crossover trio Affiniti (harp, violin and voice) have teamed up with none other than Bing Crosby’s nephew, Howard Crosby, to perform a series of shows across Ireland featuring songs from the Golden Era of Hollywood. Howard and his pianist Randy Kaping are flying in from the US especially for these concerts where Irish audiences will get to hear personal stories about Bing from his favourite nephew with whom he shared a love of music… and of golf.

Howard is a natural storytelle­r and has many anecdotes about his Uncle that give a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse into the legend’s personalit­y. His singing voice, sharing the Crosby genes, is a deep, nostalgic baritone and he is looking forward to sharing the stage once again with his good friends, the girls from Affiniti.

Howard and Affiniti have enjoyed a friendship both on and off the stage since they met in the National Concert Hall in 2013 when they were both booked to perform at the Bicentenar­y of the St Vincent de Paul Society. The concert is on Sunday, October 15, in the Carlingfor­d Heritage Centre commencing at 4 p.m.
