Question 1

Is IAHM’s Flanagan Theater really Albany’s most intimate venue?

Accepted Answer

You bet it is!!!  The Irish American Heritage Museum’s performance space has been likened to a living room or parlor.  IAHM’s performances have the intimacy of house concerts.

Question 2

Is there parking at the Irish American Heritage Museum?

Accepted Answer

There is FREE on-street parking along Broadway and Spencer St. weekdays after 5pm and weekends, all day.  Preferred parking (cheapest) is Quackenbush Parking Lot, located behind Quackenbush Square at 45 Montgomery St.  Rates $1 hour/$8 max. NB: paid parking on Montgomery St. NOT the Q-Lot, so $$$$.

Question 3

Your parking answer above is a little “lite!”  What gives?

Accepted Answer

As I’m allowed only 300 characters for Eventbrite FAQ answers, there is indeed more information. Please call the Museum (518) 427-1916: we will provide more detailed IAHM Parking FAQ page by email.  This useful, cost-efficient info is provided with IAHM’s significant sponsor, ParkAlbany.

Question 4

What is IAHM’s Special Event Performance Series all about?

Accepted Answer

IAHM’s performances have the intimacy of house concerts. The IAHM’s Special Event Performance Series welcomes artists who typically sell out venues 5-10 times the size of IAHM’s theater. The artists in this series appreciate our space and the uniqueness, closeness and interest of IAHM’s community.

Question 5

OMG!!!!  The weather is upstate AWFUL! I’ve GOT to get out of my house, with my young kids! To IAHM?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!!!  Call first; make sure Exec. Director Michael C. Clarke (MCC) is there.  MCC will entertain all with Irish song/music … he plays multiple instruments, including the piano accordion, and sings … Mr. Clarke used the p. accordion as a form of corporal punishment with his own children!  ?
