The Salmagundi Club is a grand old building that dates from 1853. Irving Berlin (1888-1989) began  entertaining New York’s working class at Lower East Side bars and saloons when he was only 13. 

Megan Thomas is a delightful cabaret artist with a glorious voice, and this trip through Irving Berlin’s prolific and quintessientially American songbook is wonderful, according to BS & UC members who have seen it. 

The bar opens at 6:30, show starts at 7 in the gallery.

Admission is free, but there will be a raffle to raise money for the

St. David’s Society Scholarship Fund and for the restoration

of poet Dylan Thomas’s house in Swansea, Wales.

                   Megan is a distant relative of Dylan's.

             The St. David’s Society is a member of the Salmagundi Club and co-sponsor of this event.
