    Gary O'Brian (presently with Skylark) will be with Jackie & Co. for
    this show. It is, unfortunately, the only show in the area. Definitely 
    a must.
    
    But, typical of Irish coordination, Dolores Keane will be at Necco
    Place (part of the Channel, I think), on the same evening, Nov 14th.
    I will have to check the paper again, to be certain, but I'm pretty
    sure.
    
    Also, at the Old Irish Alehouse, in Dedham, on Nov. 21st, Noel Hill, and 
    on Nov. 28th Phil Cunningham (of Silly Wizard).
    
                                   M.

    
    
    Is anybody interested in attending this "Sessiun"   ???
    
    The show will probably start around 9.00 but we could meet there
    earlier in the evening and have dinner first. This might be our
    last chance to get together before winter sets in ....  :-)
    
    John O'Reilly is coming all the way from Texas just so that he
    join us for the best of Traditional Irish music.
               
    It is advisable that we purchase tickets in advance, (Kevin Sullivan
    is checking on the price) as this show is certain to be "Sold_Out".

    Not to scare anyone off - but I will be there on Tues. night for the
    Jackie Daly Show....  I've increased my baths to once per week from
    once per 2 months - so I should be just a bit more tolerable to be
    around!!  ;-)
    
    I would really enjoy the opportunity to meet some more of you Celt
    noters.

    The Alehouse is at the junction of Rt 1 and Rt 109 in Dedham.
    
    Directions:     Whereever you are to 128, exit for Rt 109 East.
    Continue along that road to junction, with a gas station on your
    right. Go left, Alehouse is about a mile on the right.
    You can't miss it!?!?!?!?!?

Sorry for the late response, but hopefully this will prevent some of you from
driving all over Dedham tonight. To get the the Irish Alehouse, follow 128 to 
109 east (this is about about 1 mile south of the Rt 9 Rt 128 junction). Go 
straight on 109 about 2 miles (you will have gone through 2 sets of traffic
lights). The Alehouse is on the right hand side immediately before the Charles
River and the intersection with Rt 1. It is also about 1/4 mile after a 
miniture golf/driving range also on the right handside of 109 east, and just
past Moseley's

Have fun tonight!

    I have been there on three previous occasions, and I never noticed 
    that left before. They probably only put it in since I wrote the
    directions. As I said, I knew where I was going, everyone got there,
    the music was mighty, connections were established and a good time 
    was had by all, soooooooo........

    The Black Velvet Band, (the one from Ireland). 
    
    They've played support to both The BoDeans and 10,000 Maniacs in Boston
    over the last few weeks, and from both accounts are well worth seeing.

    Anyone who enjoys Irish folk music with a country tinge, keep an eye
    and an ear out for Mick Hanley's "All I Remember", one of the strongest
    releases I've heard in a long time. Some exelent material here such
    as "Free To Run", "Past The Point Of Rescue" and "My Love Is In
    America" (with Dolores Keane, sounds like her at least). Beautiful
    album!!!
    
    (Sorry Gerry, I got your copy, but Mike says he's making you another).
    
                                    M.

    Thanks a lot , Kevin. You how long that will take...don't you ?
    
    He still owes mw a letter from 3 years ago!
    
    Gerry

    Yeah, I know.....I'm expecting the annual missive any day now myself...
    ....short and witty......Ye're not going home either, I guess.
    
                    Have a good one!!! 

    No, we're not going home for Xmas. Wish we were though. The novelty has
    just about worn off this White Christmas stuff. I'd prefer a Black and
    white one...if you get my drift!
    
    Best wishes to yourself, Lily and the young 'uns.

    Rumor has it that they have been practicing the "Bucks of Aranmore" :-)

    The title of that tune should be "The Bucks of Oranmore".
    	Oranmore...a town 5 miles east of Galway City.My home town.
    
    	Aranmore...the largest of the 3 Aran islands,also an island off
    the Donegal Coast.
    

    Lighten up, John.....:-)
    
    This is an ongoing joke between myself and KeVin...the other Kevin

    Around the house and mind the dresser :-)
    
    Gerry

    Shane MacGowan and the Pogues have, for the forseeable future, parted 
    company. Health reasons again being the issue. Whether this time it's
    permenant or not will remain to be seen. He will not be appearing on
    the current tour. Joe Strummer, ex-Clash and occasional Pogue will be
    taking his place. 
    
    Shane has for sometime been doing only 40%-50% of the vocals with the
    band, as much a case of the other members' ability and increased 
    confidince as necessity to cover for his outofhisheadness. By all
    accounts he wasn't in great shape in Thurles, and he has always had
    an aversion to (extensive) touring, especially at this side of the 
    Atlantic. Any which way, he'll be missed. But this will still be a
    great show, different but just as good.
    
    Rumour still prevails that the Sawdoctors are the support band.

    For anyone with a love for good traditional music, there's a real treat
    in store tomorrow night (Fri. 25th). During Celtic Sojurn, 7-9pm, WGBH
    89.7FM, Brian will be broadcasting the Altan show, recorded earlier
    this year at the Old Irish Alehouse in Dedham, MA., in it's entirity.
    
    This is the first in a series of live recordings he'll be airing over
    the next few months.
    
                                  M.

    Frankie Kennedy of Altan has just undergone emergency surgery in Dublin
    to remove a malignant tumor from his spine. They have managed to remove 
    80% but are now trying to figure out how to get the remaining tissue. 
    
    Mairead (his wife) has stayed with him, but the remaining members are 
    playing a show in Portsmouth NH., this Thursday night, June 18th.
    
    This is now to be a BENEFIT for Frankie and Mairead as they will
    obviously be out of circulation for the forseeable future.  
    
    Altan without these two isn't really Altan, but there is a possibility/
    probability (not finalized) that Sharon Shannon will play with them for 
    this show. They are awaiting confirmation from Altan's management.
    
    For ticket reservation/information (and I presume any donations) 
    call (603) 436-1031.  
    
    This is a cause worthy of your support.

    Local Galway heroes The Stunning play two shows at Nightstage in

    Tickets are available at the Kinvara in Alston (that I know of), but
    NOT through regular outlets.
    
    Promises to be a great night and great atmosphere......it's been a while 
    since the last one.

    For the more adventurous, New York's Black 47 are playing at the Kell's 
    Bar in Allston this Sunday, 24th, 9pm. Tickets $10 in advance ($12 on
    night), available only from the bar.
    
    Black 47 play a mixture of Irish/rock/reggae/rap. keVin is a fan and
    will be in attendance (as an added bonus), so they're not quite as
    disconcerting as might first appear. 
    
    Well worth the effort!!!

    Where's Kell's Bar?  Is it near the Kinvara?

    
    
    Welcome Back Murphy ..........   :-)
    
    
    
    

    A Celtic Sojurn (WGBH 89.7 FM) tonight will be broadcasting a concert
    by Patrick Street recorded in New York some time ago. This is the
    version of the band that had Kevin, Jackie, Andy & Arty.
    
    Also, I think Altan are playing at the Sommerville Theatre next
    Saturday, Feb 6th.
     

    Kevin, how was Black 47 the other night - I heard they played
    at the Kells on Sunday?

    	I somehow forgot to note that info myself ...  *-)

    The Harbour Bar, on the Dock Road in Galway is owned by Dolores Keane.
    It was a rough drinking establishment before her takeover because it
    has an early morning licence which allows drinking to be done at all
    hours.
    
    This not only allows the legitimate workers of odd hours to drink but
    also the heavy drinkers of the city as well. Not a place to bring your
    friends if you want to impress them.

    Thats right Martin, I wonder where Mike is now, I think he stuck with
    the Hi-Tech business, maybe still sells the odd old ewe from an Avis
    car ............. jeez thats a long time ago; good memory.
    
    Harbour Bar wasn't really rough, just happened that some of the locals
    had strong opinions on many topics, particulary at 6am.

Gerry,

Last I heard he was in Holland contracting. He used even work for DEC once in
a while. Unless he has changed (some hope) he is probably a well known figure in
Amsterdam by now

    	I don't think I'll mention this discussion when I see Dolores in

    We had a flat across the road from it in 1975/76, enter/exit by front 
    window. It was known as Sailor's then. A great place for afterhours, cider,
    drinks on the slate, darts and the odd session with Mickey Finn & Co.
    
    It was never as rough as it's reputation would have you believe, but
    successfully kept the riff-raff yuppie types away.
    
    

    
    
    I agree, all one needed was to look like a sailor or a hippie and look
    like you could handle a few drinks ( well 15-20 pints in one sitting)
    and you were fine.    Also this helped asa useful anasthetic (sp) just
    in case a "local" decided the bar stool should be welded to your head.
    
    On Mike -jeez he would pick Amsterdam, no sheep there, but I'm sure he
    checks out the hoggets.

    The Chicago super station WGN cable cast a program at 12:30AM this
    morning, entitled "The Gentle Gunman".  It was released in 1952 with
    John Mills and Dirk Bogarde.  Unfortunately, I can't receive this
    station.  Does anyone know of a video copy, for sale or rent?
    
    The story line is about "an Irish revolutionary who reconsiders his
    terrorist activities".  It's a drama, not a comedy.

    Is this about Charlie?

    >>Is this about Charlie?
    
    I don't know, I haven't seen the film/video.  That's why I posed the
    question.  Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction.
    
    Charlie who?  Cathal Brugha (aka Charles Burgess)?

    I meant Charlee Heehaw...  Never mind  ;v)

    Was anybody able to tape the Disney special with Emmy Lou?  I'd
    love to get a copy.
