    If you don't drink Coors light, avoid the place.
    
    (I'll trade you a Christy poster for the Lisdoonvarna one)???
    

Well, I suppose you lads know what heaven is to a Clareman...?    

    Will you stop throwing sheee..ites at poor KeVin and give the lad 
    his posTer

    Christy's new song is called 'Welcome To The Cabaret'. It's a
    sort of rehash of his older type 'Listoonvarna' 'Don't Forget
    Your Shovel(if you want to go to work!)' etc...I don't know if
    Christy is taking the piss out of himself,the Media or the buying
    public? It kinda grows on you after a few listens just like peat moss!
    
    I'll keep my eyes peeled(and my fingers frisky!) from now on in the
    pubs of Galway.

    	Thanks Dave ....
    
    
    	I know it's only on the "Rare Occassion" that you would even set	
    	foot inside a pub, so I appreciate the great effort your about to
    	put forth on my behalf ....  :-)

    KeVin,
    
    I have no problem setting my feet inside a pub. However, the problem
    is afterwards finding my feet and setting them outside!

    There are art critics, drama critics, and restaurant critics, etc.
    
    Having been to Burns' Bar & Grille, (a.k.a. the Peter Rd. Pub)
    on a few occasions, I thought i might put in a review of this
    local watering hole.
    
    First off, the ambiance is quite good: why you'd think you were
    in a pub anywhere Ireland. Well, maybe not Ireland in general,
    definitely not Cork, perhaps somehwere in Clare as an approximate location.
    
    The beer/ale/porter selection is a bit thin, as another critic
    around here has already stated: in my few visits to Burns', I have 
    yet see any Murphy's stout on tap. But the other selections are
    suitable. And while there is an ample selection of spirits to be had, 
    Cork Dry Gin was noticably absent. This was disappointing for me
    personally considering the importance of Cork on the Irish sporting
    scene. :-> On the plus side, the poteen is strong and plentiful, 
    and it makes a great substitute in my favorite mixed drink, a "BB" :->
    
    Service is quick, courteous, and friendly. The barman is knowledgeable
    about all things Irish. West of the Shannon. :-> 
    
    All in all, a delightful exerience awaits the thirsty traveller at 
    Burns' Bar & Grille. And when you're there, tell the barman you want
    a "BB" made with CDG.

	I heard on the radio last that there are still some tickets for
	the monday and tuesday shows.
	
	I also heard that BBC2 are showing a documentary about the life
	and works of the songwriter Ewan MacColl on sunday night at ten
	to nine. I won't see it myself as sunday night is session night
	but knowing the BBC it'll be on again next year.

	Happy 50th birthday to Christy Moore ! I nearly ran him over in a
	car park last week, but he managed to get out of the way in time.
	
	He sits down on stage now, and has taken to wearing a little
	black hat; I thought he was a parish priest at first - strange . . .

    If anyone hears of a US Christy tour let us know asap.  
    I've been listing to him a lot lately and could use a Christy fix.
    
    I love his passion and style.
    
    Cheers,
    Paul
