March no sooner arrives than the Irish concerts begin. The F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre will celebrate Thursday with a Gaelic Storm concert. (You may remember Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet dancing to their music in the steerage of the ‘Titanic.’). Storm will perform traditional and contemporary music plus plenty of drinking songs. Canadian band Enter the Haggis, who’ll bring along Scottish Highland pipes, will open the 7:30 p.m. show. Tickets are $22-$32. Call 826-1100.
