Morning, and thanks, Christy, for further filling in our Irish family puzzle. That makes sense since our records went only as far as your grandpa’s first wife, Ellen. Turns out, around the time that CSM and Brigid were married, his niece, Kitty Moore – Margaret (Geoghegan) and William Moore’s daughter – my grandma, was coming to British Columbia, Canada, escorting her recently-married sister, Mary (aka Mollie). Kitty didn’t originally intend to stay in the Pacific Northwest, but she met my German grandpa, Paul, there and love won the day. They married in 1923 and lived in Bellingham, Washington (USA) for the remainder of their lives. Kitty and Paul had three kids – two girls and a boy (my dad, also Paul) – two of which married and had their own children. All in all, you have 6 second cousins (once removed?), including m’self, in Washington State with the ol’ Athlone Moore blood coursing through our veins (and sometimes our brains!). Anywho, break a leg in Newbridge tonight. Hope the gig’s as good as last week’s show at the NCH in Dublin. Best, Karl
Yeah, thanks Rory, that’s a lovely piece of work there from Matt. Breaking the silence is also, of course, the name of the Israeli organisation that publishes testimony from ex-IDF soldiers.
I would like to thank Rory for sharing Matt McGinn’s song. It is so sad and it is getting worser by the day. Sunday a new march in Brussels, I will be there.
Heading over from Glasgow in the morning. 7th year on the trot we’ve been over to see you. I thought we were doing well until I seen 150th time below me. That is incredible, congratulations. I reckon we will be about 20 all in when including Scottish gigs. Looking forward to spending some time in Kildare and surrounding areas. Can’t wait for the show.

Hi folks
In a week of such celebration of birthdays, white smoke and VE , please take 3 minutes to watch and share Matt McGinn’s song of a Birth Day that became unspeakable.
I just worked out that the Keadeen gig will be the 150th time I’ve seen you live. I know that’s just a drop in the ocean for some of the listeners here. But how fitting to see you in your home town…Can’t wait!

Happy birthday Christy. I hope you had a lovely day. Here’s to another 80 years!
