Israel hasn’t had a good striker in the air since Avi Cohen! Saw him in Dalyer in ’79 when Liverpool played the Ireland 11! He didnt play that day! Had just signed!
Great to see Bohs playing today with Claddagh Records as a sponsor on the back of their shirts. Kneecap on the Away jersey for the season Fair play Daniel Lambert! Fizzbra becoming the quite the spot!

I hear that Bohs are about to sign an Israeli (air) Striker
Hi Christy,
The last link I sent was the Q & A session I did with the Irish Post.
This one is for the half page feature. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17vo3URbot/
All the very best to you

For Dave Mardel : Those NCH gigs are on sale a very long time already, however if you look at the seating plan for NCH there are seats available in the Choir section up behind the stage. It’s unreserved seating so if you get in early you can get great seats in that iconic venue. H
Hi Christy, Hope you’re well

I’m trying to get 2 tickets for 30th May at National Concert Hall without any luck. Their booking website says ‘low availability’ but when I went to buy it says ‘not available’
Please could you help me?
Take Care

Van the Man. Armagh. 7th Feb 26’ The band of 6 took the stage at 7:59pm swiftly followed by Van and they sailed straight into the mystic.. 1hr 30 of music.. Very brief if any pause between songs but you could see they were all in the zone from the off and the crowd soaked it all in. What I loved was how the music didn’t need to be loud and at times they brought it right down.. you could hear Van turn to his drummer and say “shuffle..shuffle”..He played guitar, sax, harmonica and the voice sounded great… before leaving the stage he said “Give it up for the band”.. I see his next run of shows take place in San Francisco.. Played a couple of gigs out there a few years back.. the city by the bay..
Dear Christy, concerning my last post:
By using the wrong expression I may have given the impression that I find the behavior of that young people positive. I just want to correct it. I find what they did horrible.
Maybe I should go back to English class.
I wish you a nice weekend.
Christy's reply
rest assured, you made no such Impression… we know that your heart is in the right place
Hi Christy
I got a message from DK this evening, he has recorded and released an album all in one day today.
Available worldwide on Bandcamp now to buy for as little as a tenner from today.
Now that is what i call music…..as i listen to it now.
Forza David Keenan.

Christy's reply
I look forward to hearing David’s latest recording…
I love the idea of a one day recording….
at the other extreme ..a singer who spent 6 studio days working on his headphone mix…
you remind me of “The Spirit of Freedom” which was recorded in one day back in 1983….
released independently (and naively) on cassette only, it was subsequently usurped by WEA…
G’day CMers…
February?? What ??
Where’s Dec & Jan gone?
This downhill ski race of life needs a turn off surely…but not a tree dead ahead thank you very much
Ol’ Sol scorched us last week – 49 bloody degrees if you don’t mind – seems our sins will be punished on Earth & not in the threatened ether..
Hoping all are well & kicking arse
Still enjoy the posts, the repartee & fluid insanity – though I’m not a rugby fan (SHAME!!)
Stay special – Gawd knows the world needs us all
Cheers, Danny Harris : older & sillier
Well that was sobering, and as it was a school night i didn’t even have too many Pelforth Bruns to sober up from.
I hope the Picts fare better in the Colosseum than the Hibernians did against the Gauls.
Time for a bit of Francis Cabrel.

Hello
Christy, if someone shares a link here I always go take a look, so I discovered beautiful things, thank you all.
I also like that you are performing on Women’s day. There is still so much injustice against women. Usually we think of physical violence, but psychological abuse is perhaps the worst. F.e. Living with a so-called gaslighter who slowly injects his poison into the soul, invisible to outsiders, until the victim’s self-image is completely destroyed.
To end with some rather hopeful news: a group of teenagers(13 – 16 year old) set fire to ,a15-year-old,boy. Believe it or not, it’s true. It happened last Friday in a town near Brussels.
What world do we live in?
I ‘m trying to stay positive….
Kind regards

Very happy to be getting together with a group of singers and players on International Women’s Day at Vicar Street in Dublin…. all proceeds will go to Women’s Aid
Hi Christy,
The great Tom Tuohy is over making the Triangles and popping in the Nuts….. Probably skiing on the slopes for the Winter Olympics. Here’s hoping we do well against the French boys tonight.
Ride on.

Hi. It seems like more broken promises for the Stardust survivors and families, when will they ever learn ?? https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0210/1557736-stardust-survivor-payment/ Beir bua agus beannacht. H

Hi There has been a lot of discussion lately about the power of Protest Songs in creating political change. There is a new exhibition about the Anti Nuclear Roadshows opening in Dublin in April and going to Limerick & West Cork here are the details https://www.ul.ie/news/a-unique-moment-in-irish-history-university-of-limerick-graduate-explores-irelands-anti?fbclid=IwdGRjcAP0GydjbGNrA_Qa_WV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHrqdNPYHdpoKGBnInCRmMF0aMoXIJRb32zjxkfHENTDA9UNgt-duVsKzlQTt_aem_7JBWu5qtC4nihMLuBffYUA Beir bua agus beannacht.

Well done Dagrab for signposting Billy’s heroic song.
I am only just catching up on it…
