Hi Christy, I hope you are feeling well again. The plan this year was to make our annual three generation trip to Vicar Street in March to celebrate my only son’s 50th birthday but he became ill while working in Australia and is not well enough to get a flight home. He is scunnered he cannot be with us tomorrow night but he will be beside us in spirit. His family and many, many friends are all wishing that he will be “Back Home in Derry” soon. Hope it’s on the setlist.
(I have put our extra ticket for tomorrow night’s gig in Vicar Street,19/03/2026 up for resale on Ticketmaster.)
I have ended up with 2 extra tickets for tomorrow nights gig in Vicar St 19/03/2026. I have released them on Ticketmaster if anyone can make it.
Thanks
Hello Christy,
Ages ago I mentioned that I was concerned that I didn’t hear notes from the Bodhran, just tones. Anyway, an update on that. I’ve no idea how it’s happened but I seem to have started hearing notes and pitches from all sorts of things. We got a new electric toothbrush last week. It sounds really different to the old one, kind of sonic. I was brushing my teeth this morning and humming along to it as it went. Thought I’d try it out with the piano. Turns out it’s in D. Kind of minory. Aeolian, I’d say, if pressed.
Dear Christy. It’s great to see you’ll be back on stage this week. Good luck for continuing your gigs.
@ Pat: That’s really sad news reading about Dolores’ passing. Thanks for telling here.
I was always following her musical way, because I saw Dolores and John Faulkner on stage as part of the line up at the ‘Siamsa Cois Laoi’ Festival in the stadium ‘Pairc ui Chaoimh’ in 1979.
I remember it well because it was my first trip to Ireland in that summer.
All the best to all
