"At the end of the evening, the audience is up, cheering and stamping.  In HARD TIMES, Mr. Kirwan has not only delivered a knockout entertainment, he's done a public service, acquainting us with the Foster songbook and the striving, teeming America for which it was written" - New York Times  

 

Because of your support for Black 47 or Celtic Crush you are invited to buy tickets for Hard Times by Larry Kirwan before they go on general sale on Monday Dec. 16th.  Hard Times will begin performances on Jan. 9th and continue through Feb. 2nd at The Cell, 338 W. 23rd St., NYC  This show will sell out.  Tickets are $18 and are available along with full dates and times at

LAST CALL! Getting close!

Black 47 are looking for 1300 loyal and stouthearted fans to step forward and pledge $10 each for a download of Last Call, our final CD.  People who've heard rough mixes think it will be one of our finest.  We have 18 days left to raise this last chunk of change to cover recording costs, so hop aboard, participate and receive a pre-release download of the CD a month before it goes on general release.   

 

By pledging now you'll be able to take a listen to a rough mix version of Johnny Comes a'Courtin', a track about the young Irish exiled to Jamaica by Oliver Cromwell:  www.pledgemusic.com/black47   

 

There are many more "incentives" that you can find out about like signed drumheads, copies of original lyrics, you name it! You'll also get access to a special 'pledger only' part of the Black 47 PledgeMusic site where  we're currently sharing pictures, videos, written accounts of the recording sessions and the lyrics of The Ballad of Brendan Behan. Join us on this last venture. It will be a blast.

-Autographed by Larry Kirwan-

In the great tradition of Irish narratives, Larry Kirwan now occupies a noble and unique place.  His story is rich, layered, and edgy - without a trace of self-consciousness or self-pity. This is a truly compelling story, told by a rock and roll poet with a deep appreciation of his roots... Rosanne Cash 
 
Order from the Black 47 Online Shop
GREEN SUEDE SHOES is now available as an eBook at www.amazon.com & BN.com

Rockin' The Bronx is also available as an eBook at Amazon.com and B&N.com as is Kirwan's other novel, Liverpool Fantasy.
