IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I WRITE A SHORT NOTE RE: UPCOMING PATRICK STREET
CONCERT IN THE SOMMERVILLE THEATRE, AS MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT THE BAND.
PATRICK ST.
------------
KEVIN BURKE: PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST FIDDLERS IN THE WORLD. HAS
PLAYED WITH THE ARLO GUTHERIE BAND, REPLACED TOMMY PEOPLES AS THE
BOTHY BAND'S FIDDLER AND HAS PLAYED ON NUMEROUS OTHER ARTISTS ALBUMS.
HAS TWO SOLO ALBUMS ...IF THE CAP FITS... & UP CLOSE
TWO BEAUTIFUL ALBUMS WITH MICHEAL O DOMHNAILL...PROMENADE & PORTLAND.
AN ALBUM WITH JACKIE DALY ... EAVESDROPPER.
AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF HE HAS A FANTASTIC SENSE OF HUMOUR WHICH PREVAILS
THROUGHOUT THE CONCERT.
JACKIE DALY: PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST BOX PLAYERS IN THE WORLD.
HAS PLAYED WITH DE DANANN. MORE LIKELY TO BE FOUND IN A CORNER OF
PUBS LIKE MICK TAYLORS, QUAYS, NAUGHTONS,IN KINVARA, ANYWHERE IN MILTOWN
FOR WILLIE CLANCY WEEK, KENMARE FOR CIBEAL AND MANY MANY MORE THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY. AND IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO STUMBLE UPON
SUCH A SESSION, YOU DON'T FORGET THEM.
ALBUMS: AN EXELENT ALBUM WITH SEAMUS CREAGH.
TWO WITH SEAMUS & MANUS MCGUIRE (BUTTONS & BOWS) ONE HAS
JUST BEEN RELEASED - CLASSICS.
ALSO APPEARS ON MANY OTHER ARTISTS ALBUMS.
ANYONE WHO HAS HEARD THE MILTOWN SESSION TAPE KNOWS WHAT I MEAN!!!
ARTY MCGLYNN: BRILLIANT GUITAR PLAYER. HAS DONE SEVERAL TOURS AS
GUITAR PLAYER WITH VAN MORRISON'S BAND.(AND YOU DON'T PLAY WITH
VAN UNLESS YOUR SPECIAL).ACTUALLY THEY JUST FINISHED A TOUR OF
IRELAND A FEW WEEKS AGO. GREAT SHOW IN LEISURELAND BY ALL ACCOUNTS.
HAS ALSO WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH MAURA O'CONNELL. AGAIN HE IS TO
BE FOUND PLAYING ON NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLES' ALBUMS.
HE HAS ONE BEAUTIFUL SOLO ALBUM....MCGLYNN'S FANCY.
ANDY IRVINE: FOUNDER MEMBER OF THE LEGENDARY GROUP PLANXTY. PLAYS
BAZOUKI, MANDOLIN, GUITAR AND SINGS. HIS SONGS COVER A WIDE RANGE
OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL & HUMOUROUS TOPICS.(WOODY'S "TOM JOE", HIS
OWN VERSION OF SACCO & VANZETTI, WILLIAM TAYLOR, PATRICK STREET
& OTHERS). APART FROM THE PLANXTY ALBUMS, HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THAT 1976 CLASSIC ALBUM WITH PAUL BRADY.
A SOLO ALBUM .."RAINY SUNDAYS..WINDY DREAMS.
I SAW THEIR SHOW AT U.N.H. IN DURHAM LAST SUNDAY NIGHT,(WHAT A NIGHT)
THEY'RE IN MIGHTY FORM, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SOMMERVILLE SHOW AS
ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOUR.
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY ??? THESE ARE FOUR OF IRELAND'S MASTER
MUSICIANS!!!!....(& COMEDIANS TO BOOT).....MISS THEM AT YOUR PERIL.
AS AN ADDED BONUS, WITH THEM FOR THE SOMMERVILLE SHOW ARE A GROUP
OF MUSICIANS - ALTAN. INCLUDES FRANKIE KENNEDY & MAIREAD NI MHAONAIGH,
TWO OF IRELAND'S FINEST YOUNG MUSICIANS. THIS PAIR HAVE JUST RELEASED
THEIR SECOND ALBUM - THESE PEOPLE ARE WORTH SEEING ON THEIR OWN......
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST SHOW OF IRISH MUSIC TO HIT THIS AREA
THIS YEAR. TRUST ME!?!?!?!
A SECOND AND VERY IMPORTANT POINT IS THAT THESE PEOPLE COME OVER
HERE ONCE/TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY IRISH HERE. APART
FROM THE QUALITY OF THEIR MUSIC, THEY DESERVE AND NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
(IF THE CROWDS ARE POOR THEN THE PROMOTERS ARE RELUCTANT TO BRING
THEM BACK - THEN EVERYONE LOOSES OUT)!!!
RECENT TURNOUTS FOR DE DANANN AT THE BERKLEY CENTRE (HALF FULL),THE
SHOW WAS EXELENT - DOLORES WAS IN GREAT FORM.
MOLONEY,O'CONNELL & KEANE (HALF EMPTY) PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED ARE STILL
TALKING ABOUT IT - BREATHTAKING.
MARY BLACK - FAR FROM FULL - GREAT PERFORMANCE.
IRISH MUSIC IS BEST WHEN SEEN LIVE - ATMOSPHERE, HUMOUR, CRACK (SURE
YOU COULDN'T BEAT IT WITH A STICK)!!!
YOU ALL CLAIM TO HAVE IRISH BLOOD / ANCESTRY , WELL WHAT BETTER
WAY TO START ST.PATRICK'S WEEK !! THIS IS A SHOW YOU SHOULD TREAT
YOUR MOTHERS & FATHERS, GRANNIES & GRANDADS, AUNTS & UNCLES, BROTHERS
& SISTERS, FRIENDS,COUSINS ETC. ETC. ETC.............
LETS HAVE DAVIS SQUARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUNDS OF SINGING & DANCING
& YAHOOOOING !!!! ( AM I OVER DOING THIS????). LET IT BE THE
OFFICIAL OPENING OF PADDYS' WEEK.
THE PRE, MID, POST CONCERT CRACK/DEOCH WILL BE IN JOHNNY D'S (OPPOSITE
THE THEATRE) - THOUGH MANY OF THE DIEHARDS WILL BE HEADING FOR
LIMERICKS AFTERWARDS FOR THE SUNDAY NIGHT SESSION & THE BEST PINT
IN TOWN. SO COME OUT & MEET NEW FRIENDS & HAVE A BALL!!!
THE SOMMERVILLE THEATRE IS NO MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR'S RIDE FROM
MOST OF YOU ,THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING SPACE OFF DAVIS SQUARE
AND ITS SAFE. THE CONCERT STARTS AT 7.30 PM. SO IT,LL BE OVER
10.30 - 11.00, SO YOU'LL BE HOME IN PLENTY OF TIME TO GET YOUR BEAUTY
SLEEP. SO GET UP OFF YOUR ASSES, TURN OFF THE TELEVISION FOR ONCE
AND DO SOMETHING REAL (REEL)!. GET A BABYSITTER & BE AT THE BEST
SHOW OF THE YEAR.
................OR MAY YE ALL WAKE UP ON MONDAY MORNING TO FIND.................
........................YOUR GARDENS FULL OF SNAKES........................

| 335.5 | Is it Patrick St. or St. Patrick ?? 8=) | STEREO::BURNS | 1988 will be a BANNER year | Wed Mar 02 1988 07:57 | 20 |
O.K. Mr. Sullivan , you convinced me. !!!!!
Thank God your not a car salesman :=)
We now have 11 seats to the "Patrick Street Concert" in Somerville.
(ALL of Row J. Center Section)
Rumor has it that a few people may be going into Limericks BEFORE
the concert also .....
Anyone else interested in attending this event of the year ??
Who knows, even the CELTS Moderator might be in attendance :-)

| 335.6 | How to get tickets, find the theater?? | BUSY::OROURKE | Fri Mar 04 1988 13:36 | 10 | |
Yes, I'm interested in seeing this show. March can be such a dreary
month with St Patrick's day the only saving grace.
How can I go about getting tickets? Also, can anyone give specific
directions to the theater?

"Ticketmaster"

the "(" or the ")" key ....In your case please dial

| 335.18 | YOU CAN'T GET LOST... | BUSY::OROURKE | Mon Mar 14 1988 12:17 | 16 | |
I feel that it is my duty to say that....
Contrary to popular opinion, KeVin isn't a bad sort.
After all, he did help me get tickets to this great concert, and
he did lead me from Boston to Sommerville.
However, one thing must be made perfectly clear.....
THE LIGHT WAS RED!!!!!!!!
Nice meeting everybody...

It was nice meeting most of ye, albeit for a shortish time. What did you do to poor Kevin (Burke) that led him to admit knowing ye. The man may never show his face in public again !! *8=). Question is, are we all going to do this again for some other good concert in the future ?? Any thoughts on the Paul Brady scheduled for later in the year ?? | |||||

Bernard: The 2 Paul Brady tapes I have (thanks to Maurice)
are "Back To The Centre" and "Hard Station"
Does anyone want to go to the "Silly Wizzard" concert on
April 10th ??
keVin
p.s. Jennifer ... I thought "ALL" the traffic lights were GREEN.
Hope you didn't get lost on the way home, as that seems
to have been the case for MR_TOPAZ !!!
