Thanks Christy, would be great if you’d let them know and put Colm in contact. We’ll be at The Horseshoe Tavern Toronto on 4th Oct. Look fwd to reporting how things go..
Refreshing as always to drop in here and read such variety..films, gigs, quare ones.. the gbook has it all.. All go this side thankfully.. Canada next month for 3 shows (2 in St John’s, 1 in Toronto).. then what looks like HSP’s biggest selling show to date at Barrowland Glasgow on 4th Dec.. then London, Liverpool, Manchester the week after.. before heading to Australia to play Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth..would be great to link up with any 4711ers in transit.. Picking up the guitar to learn your songs as a young fella has opened a world of connections and opportunities – forever grateful.
PS Working on a new song at the moment about the last train to leave Cavan in 1959.. Inspired by a short doc made by my brother for anyone who may have an interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc5nAAddz3Q
Adalante!

great to see your horizons broaden…..please remember me to the barrowland choir….Come all you Dreamers on the menu ? hope so….Wally and I were inspired by Mags McIvors splendid ballroom….
it will be Summer in Oz so prepare to be roasted ( and frozen in Toronto )…I once flew from Sydney to Toronto arriving in shorts and light shirt…I was met in Toronto by a good Cavan man Colm O’Brien who , along with Mick Casey, promoted my first Canadian gigs in 1986…seeing that the balls wwre froze off me Mick Casey gave me the coat off his back..what date are you in Toronto?…I’ll tell Colm and Betty that there is a Cavan outfit coming their way….Ride On Kevin and The High Stool Prophets
In Central Library today…absent mindedly mulling over the great Bill Leader exhibition…then,came to a halt in front of the exhibition cases…
Music photos by Karen McBride ..’Just a girl from North Manchester ‘…mainly black and white and very expressive. A new name to me,but a very experienced,talented photographer…I’ve just seenlots of online info and her astounding back story. Free exhibition on display for several months and a Q and A with Karen on Wed 9/9…
It’s always great when a day turns on a chance encounter…
I don’t know whether you saw this, the Bohemian FC stand at their match against St Patrick’s Athletic at Richmond Park on Saturday displayed a large banner reading “¡Adelante is the cry around the Northside!”.
Dear Christy. Great to see your gigs are running well. Good luck to you for all of the following ones and the special Vicar performances in November. Also good wishes to all 4711ers who will make it over to be part of one of them.
Yesterday my wife and I were coming back home from holidays, the neighbour emptied our letter box during the time and I first opened Andy Irvine’s new album which was placed on the kitchen table. A treasure. A gift for himself and all fans. Thanks very very much for your link, Hilary.
All the best

Andy never fails to deliver….hoping to hear him again soon at The Dun Laoghaire Folk Festival ..
Greetings to you Gunter
Hope you’re in good spirits Christy.
Almost 2 years since you played a special concert at the Moat remembering Liam O’Flynn. Will that recording ever see the light of day. It was a really special night.
Thanks,
