Hi Christy,
Hope you got home safely through the downpours. Brilliant night in Galway, you set the tone with your opening of “How Long”. Hopefully the weather will keep him indoors for the weekend. Loved “Tipping it up to Nancy “ with the Bodhran. Great to meet all our 4711er friends from near and far.
Best regards.
Ride on

Sad day always on this date, thinking of Mary and John Heffernan. Natalie Merchant wrote a bone chilling song about September 11 and every time I hear Christy sing it, my eyes well up with tears. But 25 years does not dim the memories. I have discussed what I felt that day with friends and family, but as tragic that this day was there are present day policies that trigger memories of the pile. I look at the inhumane treatment of the people of Gaza and the landscape of destruction. Englands starvation of the Irish is wrong, German genocide of the Jews is wrong, fanatics flying planes into buildings is wrong, but people of different cultures as a whole are not evil. The policymakers that control spin are the real evil. Hopefully the world for our Grandchildren will be a better place. God Bless Christy and as soon as they process my Irish Citizenship I’ll be back for a visit, hopefully up north in a United Ireland.- Danny McGlinchey
Listening to the news about this weekend’s arrivals reminded me of Hey Ronnie Reagan so i dug out the boxset to give it a whirl. Such a gem of a collection – that must have been a special time, pulling all the decades of material together and distilling it down to the final track selections. I remember that time now over 20 years ago listening intently to it all and discovering new gems from the archive. It still brings joy. A reverie of sorts. Hope you enjoyed the Galway gig. Give her the crack and up she goes. X
