Wednesday night in Nancy's was an interesting mix.
Out back, we had the Funk Junkies doing their stuff, like this:
But if you preferred, you could go out to the old front bar and catch some of this:
Then, on Saturday, you could catch this kind of thing. Aren't old ladies great? They live on Planet Oldie, a world where nothing else exists except themselves. Here's this poor guy doing his best to earn a crust while the three girls stand right in front of him talking at the top of their voices.
I love it.
In Cruise's Street, you might bump into this lunacy:
After that, you could wander up to Thomas Street and have a coffee while you listen to this gentleman, Peter Walls, entertaining the public with panache and aplomb.
I'm a regular on Thomas St. on Saturdays. Listeneing to Peter sing while having a coffee is a very civilised way to spend a half hour or so. Not quite Covent Garden but still nice.
I saw the "lunacy" in Cruises Street last week.Very entertaining.There seems to be a real revival of music in town at the moment thanks to the likes of these people and a few of the pubs.Is it somehow recession fuelled?Nobody seemed to give a toss as long as we were all rich.
Ingenious stuff from that headless drummer BOCK. I like it when there's a little homework done before venturing into this sort of thing. Shows respect for the audience I should think. Worth supporting that.
Peter is great – a really talented man.
the .. Invisible man act is .. well, i cannot reveal who the Invisible Man is, but the fella on guitar (dobro is it??) is Paul Gay… he is from the states, but his daughter grew up in east Clare. He's great, positive energy. Teaches young people guitar and lots of other stuff… as you can see from this very short clip, he's a lovely stage personality and …. i remember him sayin how Life was brutal in the states…. (I hail from NYC too, after almost 20 yrs of Irish climes, and 4 young'uns to rear, i do be a biteen homesic mself) … he said here in Ireland, he was happy and fulfilled, able to actually make a living doing his Art… (he also builds gigantic Kaleidoscopes and .. no doubt other shades of lunacy!) … i thought 'hm. i guess so.. as i'm at da same craic. Guess i'm more of a moaner so.. !!'
does he kno dis is up? twould b a tickle for him alrt ! Well done. Tanx.
