Just to say a massive thank you for the gig last night — it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I’ve come over from Scotland three times in the last six months to see you, but last night was something else. The NCH brought me right back to your days in the Concert Hall in Glasgow.
We were front row with our daughter Olivia and her friend Orla, and you made their night (and ours) when you sang Sail on Jimmy for them. We also gave you a cheeky shout for No Time for Love… and fair play, you delivered on that too!
The soundtrack for the night was phenomenal. As it went on, the gig really veered into that old political route — the one that reminds everyone why your music still hits as hard as ever (and probably still rattles a few cages along the way).
Thanks again for a cracking night — we’re still buzzing!
All the best,
Shugster

Well Christy, you were right about Carrick on Suir.. we had a mighty gig in the Strand Theatre.. funny you mentioned Peg Clancy here, her great grandson Liam Power (10) came in to tell us he had made €63 busking on the accordion during the day.. A request for “Ride On” came up and I told your story about the salmon.. no such luck on the way out for us..! We played amongst others; The Dutchman, Go Lassie Go, The Galtee Mountain Boy… then hightailed it straight to the airport for a gig in north Scotland..a folk festival in Hopeman along the beach.. got to hear Siobhan Miller, the Scottish folk singer.. we hit the stage then at 8:30pm and were on a plane at 9AM home.. great fun.. It sounds like the NCH gigs went down a treat.. it’s buzzing here.. round we go..

sobriety brings clarity, purpose, peace of mind
