The Portable Dorothy Parker

Martin Hayes learned to play the fiddle at seven years old, and at thirteen he won his first All-Ireland Fiddle Competition. He is now regarded as one of today’s most influential Irish fiddle players and plays with the Irish supergroup The Gloaming. He also plays in a duo with Irish-American guitarist Dennis Cahill, a fellow member of The Gloaming, whom he met decades ago in Chicago’s traditional Irish music scene. Hayes and Cahill play at Gig Performance Space (1808-H Second St.) at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3. Tickets are $22 in advance and $27 at the door; visit www.gigsantafe.com. — Jennifer Levin Having your writing chuckled at as clever when you were aiming for profound is the bane of many a writer’s creative existence — perhaps none more so than Dorothy Parker, the jaded, hard-drinking poet and short-story writer who palled around with Lillian Hellman, F.
