Broome County AOH hosting Irish historian Davy Holden
Leading up to Parade Day, the AOH will host a slew of activities dedicated to Irish culture and appreciation. Their next event, a history night, will be held on Saturday.
The event features a special appearance from Irish historian, podcaster, and musician Davy Holden.
Holden will share a presentation on Irish rebellions beginning in the 1700s. He will also share rebel music and discuss how the uprisings shaped Irish values.
Division II Historian for the AOH Kathleen Nilsson is an avid follower of Holden. She says that when he agreed to come to Binghamton, she was shocked and overjoyed.
'I've always been fascinated with history and to see young people enamored with history, it really, it warms my heart. So, I like listening to him a lot for those reasons,' said Nilsson.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. at the AOH Hall, located at 148 Main Street in Binghamton. It is free to attend.
The AOH has several other events coming up including a performance from B.C. Celtic Pipes and Drums, dinner dance, soup supper, and more. Proceeds will help fund Parade Day which will be held on March 2.

Liam Neeson's Longtime Manhattan Penthouse Sells for $10.3 Million
Photo: Krisztina Crane Liam Neeson has officially split with his New York apartment. City property records reveal that the Irish actor has offloaded his Manhattan pad for $10.3 million—about a half a million dollars short of the Upper West Side home's asking price from earlier this year. The buyers are listed as Martin Zetterberg and Joanmarie Zetterberg, per the New York Post. The Taken star initially listed his Manhattan dwelling in 2024 for $12.75 million. He later pulled the residence off the market before re-listing it with a discount to $10.75 million in March 2025 under a different brokerage. Neeson has maintained the Lincoln Square pad since 1999. He originally purchased it for $4 million and resided there with his late wife, English actor Natasha Richardson, and their two sons. Built in 1994, the modern high-rise contains 56 floors. It has become a celebrity enclave over the years, with Howard Stern and Jon Bon Jovi among its past residents. Neeson's unit is situated on the 28th floor; he lived in a 4,524-square-foot space with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, which were assembled by merging three separate units into one. His compounded luxury apartment opens to a lofty foyer, a corner family room, and floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping 360 views of the Manhattan skyline. The dwelling boasts an open concept chef's kitchen outfitted with luxury appliances, a pantry, and a large dining area. The main bedroom hosts two spa-like baths, a gym, and a home office-slash-library with views of Central Park. The rest of the abode features custom built-ins to showcase Neeson's extensive art collection. The Oscar winner divides his time between a few dwellings in his portfolio, including a 6,000-square-foot country home in Millbrook, New York, and properties in his native Ireland. Neeson revealed to People that he plans on retiring from Hollywood in the near future. He's been making headlines lately both for the release of The Naked Gun as well as for buzz around a budding romance with his co-star, Pamela Anderson which is 'in the early stages,' per an anonymous source to People. 'It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other,' the unnamed source continued. 'The relationship blossomed out of a mutual appreciation for the simpler things in life. They've bonded over their shared love of nature, classic films and a slower pace. Neither of them are chasing the spotlight and they value their privacy at this point in their life.' Matthew Coleman at Coleman Real Estate Group held the listing.

An NYC Bar Played a Surprising Role in Shaping Bob Dylan's Most Iconic Album
An NYC Bar Played a Surprising Role in Shaping Bob Dylan's Most Iconic Album originally appeared on Parade. In 1963, the times were in fact a-changing, but no one captured it quite like Bob Dylan. It was 62 years ago on August 6 that a spry 22-year-old Dylan walked into the studio to record the ground-breaking album, The Times They Are A-Changin', that changed music forever. He completely bucked tradition a recorded a folk album devoid of any covers. His completely original score was a political protest album from top to bottom amid a backdrop of tumultuous times including the civil rights movements, the Cold War, and dropping mere weeks prior, seemed to eerily predict the assassination of JFK. And it all came to be thanks to one bar in Greenwich famously hung around the Irish bar The White Horse Tavern which was filled with Irish locals and expats who'd sing songs from their motherland. 'All through the night they would sing drinking songs, country ballads, and rousing rebel songs that would lift the roof,' Dylan wrote in Chronicles. 'The rebellion songs were a really serious thing. The language was flashy and provocative – a lot of action in the words, all sung with great gusto.' Dylan took the rebellious tunes and paired them with original lyrics that really spoke to the American people. However, it also spurred some controversy within the Irish community. According to Music Radar, Irish songwriter Dominic Behanaccused him of "plagiarizing" his tune to "The Patriot Game" and putting it behind his song "With God On Our Side." Dylan never acknowledged the criticism as Behan's song borrowed the tune from the traditional Irish song "The Merry Month of May." Dylan actually recorded a few covers for the album, but through his own vetting process decided to keep it all his own work. And that "small" decision changed the course of music history.
