Following the sad news of the passing Of Leeson O’Keeffe we were inundated with requests to organise a get together where we could raise a glass to a legend of Celtic-Punk, an inspiration and a dear friend to many of us so this coming Sunday in Camden CROCK OF BONES are playing and it will give us a chance to remember Leeson together.

We just watched the amazing OLD TIME SAILORS in Guildford and they were incredible. A 17-piece band playing Irish Folk and sea-shanties that is half way theatre and half way the best musical show you’ll see all year. Check their Fan-Page on Facebook for gigs near you but they land ashore at the Islington Academy on Saturday 7th September.

Try to patronise Irish venues as much as possible and support the Irish community rather than those that would seek to only make money out of us.

We organise the occasional gig ourselves. It’s all very DIY so don’t expect Caesars Palace or the running order to be on time but do expect a bloody good night…
