Thurs 26th May

Well it’s back to Cruises Bar this Thurs (TONIGHT) with Jimmy Clancy back this week and friends too – of course the Fleadh Nua is in full swing around the town so there could be ..well, just anybody visiting the bar! For details see http://www.fleadhnua.com/ And for Cruises Bar see  https://www.facebook.com/cruises.bar/

I sneaked in a lovely seisiún in Myles’ Creek last Sunday with Niamh Casey and Roisin Considine and Tom Gorman joined us as did my Dad, Jim.

And last Thurs was lively at Cruises Bar – I was with Conor Lynch, Joe Hanrahan joined by his brother John on drum-box (cajon maybe?) and Paula on fiddle. See photos below.

Thursday 19th May

Joining me tonight in Cruises Bar, are two people I’ve played with regularly over the past few years out in Daly’s Bar, Ballynacally – Conor Lynch on uilleann pipes and Joe Hanrahan on banjo/bouzouki! Please feel welcome to join us.

Jimmy – along with many musician friends – has lost a good friend/relative,  and lover of music -Joe O’Connor (May he rest in peace)  yesterday and cannot be with us tonight.

I’ve missed getting to post the last couple of weeks so for the past two Thurs nights – here are some photos…

On Thurs 5th Jimmy and I were joined by his good friend from North Carolina Mark on guitar and vocals, also Matt on guitar and vocals. Towards the end of the evening we were joined by a lady from Kilkenny on accordion and her son on mandolin (whose names have slipped my mind – so sorry!).

Last Thurs Jimmy and I were joined by Mark again and Andrew Lambert on bouzouki – both great singers! What a great night! We also had a visitor from the U.S. sing a beautiful rendition of a Bob Seger song

Mark – from North Carolina

Visiting musicians from Kilkenny!
