Loving Boy In The Wild CM
have sent to my 37 yo son Tim
About to get amongst the rest
Ive got you under my skin, as Francis Albert might opine
Danny Harris – in the net
I’m playing ‘A Terrible Beauty’ and wishing to be at Vicar Street…great to know the songs now after hearing them mentioned in post gig comments here…it’s a wonderful LP and huge credit to all involved.
No recording of our trad adventure ,sadly…we only have a few cassettes of early rehearsals and some gigs.Never in a studio…
Another reason why we’re indebted to our late mucker,John…he filmed and did the sound for the songs that are part of your 75th film…and an honour to be part of it…salutations now heading East to tech wizard/birthday boy,Pat!
I can feel the good mojo from Dublin,but it may be shivers,so I’m sticking the kettle on…

the songs took me on a long and winding road last night….very little chat….betimes I just went along with it…..”The Well “turned up,” Irish Pagan Ritual” appeared, “The Curragh” got a Spin , Joni’s “Magdalen” was incomplete, we sang “The Voyage” for Johnny Duhan and “Duffy’s Cut” for the man from Pennsylvania….
Hi Christy, It’s me again. I really think you would like ‘Missing.’ Is there any email address I could access so as to send it to you?
Mine is helenbrennan@yahoo.ie
Regards,
Helen.
Christy you mentioned singing at a welcome home gig for Frank Patterson a few post back. Is that the Irish Tenor, “For your Pleasure’ Frank? If so tell me a bit more about welcoming him home?
I ask, because there is a wee link there. My daddy used to help out at gigs in the Imperial Dundalk, friendly he was with the owners, the Quinn family.
Anyway, his last gig was a Frank Patterson concert, early 1979. A short time later Daddy had a tragic accident in the Imperial and died as a result.
Some time later we got a message from the Imperial. Frank Patterson had sent a copy of his album ‘For your Pleasure vol. 2’, signed ‘for my dear friend Ownie’.
A very nice gesture.
I hope you have a great gig tonight in Vicar St, sing your heart out for me on my birthday! You are a couple of steps further along the road …
And I look forward to 20th Jan, my annual pilgrimage.
Shine On a chara!
Ooh aah…..

Thats the very Man….Frank came from Clonmel…I was working there 1963/64…Frank was studying music in Rome (if memory serves) he was home in Clonmel and a Concert was arranged to celebrate his home coming…I was invited to sing two songs…I think it was in the Regent Cinema….
Frank was a beautiful singer…. he sings “Lass of Aughrim” in the film of Joyce’s short story “The Dead”….gets me every time…despite worldwide acclaim he never lost his Tipperary accent…I loved that..
That a lovely story about Frank sending the album to “Ownie” Thanks for sharing
Hearing great feedback about the Vicar Street run Christy, can’t wait to see for myself over Christmas, been way too long since I’ve sampled the unique atmosphere of Vicar Street. Hope you’re enjoying the run
Spot on about the power of well chosen words ina song…’Girl from/of the North Country’s,one of Dylan’s finest…even when played in a hot,sweaty venue,there’s an Iron Range chill from the howlin’ wind…and a tenderness of lost love…
There can also be a mojo when a song arrives on the frets,ometimes unexpectedly…a few years ago,Fred and I went on a few roadtripa to Scotland. One time,we stayed at a hotel and played gigs there….soaking up scenery and bonhomie ane’d often jam pre gig…one evening,Fred began to sing and play a fab guitar version of ‘She moved through the fair’…a pleasant surprise to me as we’d never talked about playing it. I delayed the dulcimer entry until verse two and we set off on a journey of offbeats,minor chords and had a great few minutes ..as the last notes faded,we were grinning like eejits,in silence…
It became a favourite in the setlist,remaining unarranged,to head in a variety of directions. At one gig,a guy came for a chat. Turned out he’d recorded the song and liked our take on it. Being a Northern man of few words,the verdict, ‘nice work,lads’ was better than a panning ..
Enjoy the gig…Vicar Street will be cooking on a raw night…
