BLACK 47/CELTIC CRUSH Newsletter
November 2014 November leaves bring more happiness than daffodils...

Hi:
Sorry about sending a combined newsletter but I'm run ragged with all the gigs and the countdown to Nov. 15th. All is going well and it's been great meeting so many of you around the country as well as receiving the general outpouring of love and respect for Black 47.
I know there are many who would like to see the band one last time but there are only two shows left with tickets for sale:
Nov 13 World Cafe Live, Philadelphia, PA Nov 14 Mahoney's Irish Pub, Poughkeepsie, NY
It's been a wonderful, occasionally tragic, 25 year run and we're grateful to all of you who have been a part of it. The songs and the videos will remain, and hopefully some of our message.
For CELTIC CRUSH listeners I'll devote this coming Saturday's show to the story of Black 47. It will be raw and uncompromising, detailing the downs as well as the ups. You'll get a unique view into the life of a Rock 'n Roll band, not the usual bullshit perspective but the real deal.
We'll continue www.black47.com with news of the band members and we'll update the history of the band and provide you with rare tracks, videos, etc. as we go along. I'm sure our Black 47 Facebook page will continue to thrive also.
We're not going anywhere. We're professional musicians and we'll continue to play. Thanks for all the good times down the crazy years. We couldn't have done it without you!
