Update
----------------------------------

‘Tis a grand thing to be busy, but when you’re busy, stuff like this gets neglected….still, better be busy than doing stuff like this, so I’d better get busy doing this stuff. There’s a bunch of gigs coming up and I’m really looking forward to them…they're on the gig section so I won’t go listing them again. Hope the waters are calm for Innisboffin…..have very dodgy memories of my last visit, but it wasn’t just the choppy waters were responsible…..the wonderful hospitality, I guess. There’s a DVD of the concert in the Set Theatre, Kilkenny a couple of months ago…..it’s in the can and I’ve heard the results. It sounds very usable and I believe that the pictures are nothing that a bit of hair-brushing won’t fix. Great night in Downey’s Ballyfermot last week. Mick Coakley runs a great club there. It’s a life times devotion and I’ve been playing it since I was in short trousers. It was Arty’s first visit and he was well impressed…and that boy has been around. Well done Mick…you’re the real deal. McGrory’s of Culdaff isn’t half bad either. Great sound..great grub, and great craic. Had to tear myself away from the extra time between Waterford and Cork…broke my heart….but the call of the punter, and all that, especially the call of the punter who’s paid over his money?
I’m thinking of going to Nama Island for the hols…don’t know too much about it, but I hear the climate is ideal for the sighting of Igamafoos…..(proper spelling Igamafu acronym: “I gamble your money and fuck you”) They’re flight creatures, tan-coloured, and human like. They are extremely difficult to trap, but can be lured into tents, with Bollinger and chicken. However, they are extremely dangerous when trapped, so best shot on sight.
Its off to Kilmallock, Crosshaven, and Boyle for the weekend….see you there,

Mick.
