CELTIC CRUSH Newsletter May 2014
|
Hi Crushers and Crushaholics: This coming Saturday, June 14th, we'll be doing our James Joyce/Bloomsday show. It's become a tradition over the last 9 years of Celtic Crush. We'll examine different facets of the life, career and times of James Joyce, his wife Nora Barnacle, tragic daughter Lucia, and the various characters he created, including his greatest, Molly Bloom. The music will include The Dubliners, Flogging Molly, Count John McCormack, Dropkick Murphy's, Black 47, Saw Doctors and so many more.
Thanks to everyone who's been coming out to see Black 47 over the last month. It's great to put faces to email addresses, so make sure you come up and say hello. The shows have been even more intense than usual - probably because they're the last in most venues. The next gig will be on June 21st at The Towne Crier in Beacon, NY. There's a list of gigs below. Don't forget our last Cruise (in NY Harbor) on Thursday, July 10th. It's always a blast and a great way to see New York with Black 47 serenading you.
For those who would like to join me on my annual trip to Ireland, the next one will begin on Nov. 18th. For playlists from the last couple of Celtic Crush shows, scroll down.
All the best, talk to you Saturday!

A MESSAGE TO YOU RUDY - Larry Kirwan/B47 Blog
|
A MESSAGE TO YOU RUDY "Silicon suits, ballroom romance Belfast on fire, would you care to dance? All mixed up, no rhyme nor reason Don't cross the Border in the middle of Marching Season..." Songs have a way of shooting you back in time, don't they? I only have to play the first chords of The Night The Showbands Died and I'm right back in Ireland in the summer of 1975. It was a bad time. Sectarian killings had become the norm up North; but being relatively early in the conflict, there was still an inkling of hope that things could get better. Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher and Planxty ruled the cool scene, while showbands dominated dancehalls on both sides of the Border. A band had to know two national anthems and be ready to play whichever depending on the community. In the rare "mixed halls," the lights came up instantly after the last song to forestall any provocative requests for either A Soldier's Song or God Save The Queen...

Black 47 Online Shop
BLACK 47 is finishing off a number of t-shirt lines as their stock winds down. Among those are shirts related to specific CDs such as IRAQ, Bankers & Gangsters, Funky Ceili, Che Guevara Lynch and some others. A good guide to a future collector's item is to see if any sizes are out of stock - that usually means that we will not be re-ordering. There are also offers of 12 B47 CDs for $140 and book/CD offers. Take a look...
