Hi Christy
Recently listening to a lot of “If I Get an Encore”.
Brilliant and fun song particularly the live version where the Wild Colonial Boy is referenced as well as the Margaret Barry concerts in Willesden Junction (which I’ve heard the droves of Irish in London at the time fondly remember).
Just wondering how the song has changed over time. The first time I heard you sing it, there was definitely references to Planxty and Kilcrohane.
Thanks,
Colm

Hi Christy,
Just a message to say I thoroughly enjoyed you concert on Tuesday in memory of the late, great Tommie Gorman.
The music you, Jessie, Seamie and Gerry played was a fitting tribute to a man who meant so much to so many people.
Especially the Wondering Aonghus song had me floating away to a land far, far away.
And of course, they meant so much to him as did Sligo Rovers.
To have an evening where Sligo Rovers and music matched up was just magical.
Keep fighting the good fight, hope to see you again soon.
Up The Rovers,
Ronan
