September Gigs Revisited

Yesterday afternoon, we had a great time performing for The Irish Rail's "Half-Way to St. Patrick's Day" bash. On Thursday, we were joined by many friends -- old and new -- at Connolly Station in Belmar. Watch a slideshow here to see the fun.

Watch this space for more dates as they are announced. In the meantime, mark your calendar to join us on Thursday, October 29 at THE IRISH RAIL (6-9pm) and Tuesday, December 29 at FARRELL'S (Point Pleasant Beach) 6:30-9:30pm.

Back at The Irish Rail -- Tomorrow!

Just had a call from Becky, the manager at THE IRISH RAIL in Manasquan, inviting us to play at their "Half-Way to St. Paddy's Day" bash tomorrow. We'll be performing from 3-6 pm. We know it's short notice, but we'd love to see some of you there. Pass the word. No time today to post photos from last night's gig at CONNOLLY, but watch for them soon.

True fans -- and good friends -- at a recent performance at The Irish Rail. Lots of fun at Connolly Station tonight! Watch for photos of the night and news soon.

We hope you'll be able to join us on Thursday for our first appearance at CONNOLLY STATION in Belmar. We'll be performing there from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. You'll hear many of your favorites, for sure, and some that may not be as familiar to you -- yet. Please pass the word to your friends. The more the merrier!

See you soon!

A Night at The Rail

Liz and I had a great time at THE IRISH RAIL last night. We saw lots of friends -- old and new! It was great seeing the legendary Jersey Shore entertainer, Timmy Gough, again after all these years! Sea Girt was well represented with a large group of merry revelers celebrating a special birthday. St. Rose Grammar School teachers were out in force -- and in good voice, too! We hope they'll all come back next month. Cliff and Carol were back and caught up on the latest happenings with friends, Ron and Geri. Kay and Bill are always "fan"tastic! Liz's brother Glenn and his wife Stella joined us -- before leaving for vacation in Myrtle Beach next week. Sheila & Jim brought along the evening's littlest "party animal" and the newest addition to our family to the festivities: "Nicolas James Briggs Sullivan" who made the trip all the way from Santiago, Chile. (Grandparents, Jerry and Kathleen, were beaming.) Maureen and Tim and I were the first Ryans to see the Little Angel. Nico and his mom, Kerry (Sheila's daughter), and dad (Ricardo) had flown into Newark Airport earlier yesterday afternoon and came directly to The Irish Rail. Not bad for just 10 weeks old! Siobhan brought along little Gerry and Kara to join in the fun with Aunt Meg and "Baby on Board." Liz was happy to greet her friend Erika -- and her friend.

We'll be back at The Rail on Thursday, October 29 (6-9pm). In the meantime, mark your calendar to join us at CONNOLLY STATION in Belmar on September 17 (6-9pm). Some folks -- like my Superintendent and his family -- weren't able to stay last night since there was an hour's wait for a table! So plan on arriving early. Hope to see you soon!

BTW: Yes, that's a real Irish potato sitting on the counter. :-)
