I’m very much looking forward to tonight’s gig. It’s been a short stay in Dublin for me this time, but an enjoyable and peaceful one. An excellent gig by Eddi Reader and band at the Pavilion on Saturday evening, yesterday a walk through Ringsend and Irishtown to Sandymount Strand, the daffodils in the park just opening at the beginning of Spring, a quiet day today watching the birds flying and foraging for food on the Liffey and Dodder, and your gig this evening!
Hello Christy,
Hunkering down for a quiet afternoon before your gig tonight. Toast with blackberry jam, Steve is finding us a bit of rugby. Guitar practice.
There’s a bookshop down the bottom of Francis Street, O’Connell books. I heard it’s a film set. Shame, it looks just the kind of bookshop I love.
Looking forward to the Monday Club tonight, it’s been a while since I’ve entered!! If you were to play Lyra tonight that would be splendid, stay safe and have a great show!!
Hello Christy.Looking forward to boarding the bus in Cork this afternoon for another night of wonderful music and song.Every good luck tonight with the gig.Sweet music roll on Christy.
Looking forward to a wonderful evening tomorrow. I already had two lovely evenings with music in Dublin with Birgit. So happy to come back to Dublin and to Vicar Street
Thanks Christy, always love those delves into the past, could read them all day!
The mention of “Dunlavin Green” struck me! Didn’t Andy I record it on his album with Luke Plumb 40 years after accompanying you on “The Iron”
Which got me thinking! In all the hundreds of songs I think yourself and Andy maybe covered about 3/4 same songs?
Wasn’t that the beauty of Planxty though! 2 totally different singers, sininging totally different songs, in totally different keys! Was two bands for the price of one!
Many moons ago,Richard Thompson put Al Bowlly on my radar.,with the classy,Al Bowlly’s in heaven’.
Just now,the radio played Bowlly singing ‘ Two Sleepy People’…pretty much a perfect Sunday song…what an artist,gone far too young and well worth a Wikipedia read.
Dear Christy
Since a few days we are in the Wiclow Mountains, enjoying hiking. But as well looking forward to your Monday evening gig in Vicar Street. We feel so privileged that we regularly can come to the beautiful Island and ofcourse that you still keep up the good work.
See you on Monday.
all the best
Els and Piet.
