Join us for our 5th annual Golden Oldies Concert at Monsignor Farrell on Saturday, April 19th. Doors open at 6:30 pm - showtime is 7:30. Concert features "nightclub-style" seating at tables of up to ten people, BYO food and liquor, cash bar serving beer, wine by the bottle, and soft drinks.
This year's show is extra-special, as we help celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Little Star," the #1 song of 1958, performed by Staten Island's own Vito Picone & The Elegants. Farrell also shares a special connection with Vito & The Elegants, as Vito's son Jack graduated Farrell in 2002. Alumnus Bruce "Sonny" Copp, a 1966 Farrell graduate, is also a member of the Elegants.
