| Christy's new song is called 'Welcome To The Cabaret'. It's a
sort of rehash of his older type 'Listoonvarna' 'Don't Forget
Your Shovel(if you want to go to work!)' etc...I don't know if
Christy is taking the piss out of himself,the Media or the buying
public? It kinda grows on you after a few listens just like peat moss!
I'll keep my eyes peeled(and my fingers frisky!) from now on in the
pubs of Galway.

Thanks Dave ....
I know it's only on the "Rare Occassion" that you would even set
foot inside a pub, so I appreciate the great effort your about to
put forth on my behalf .... :-)

| KeVin,
I have no problem setting my feet inside a pub. However, the problem
is afterwards finding my feet and setting them outside!

806.7 | Where "Time Now, Gents" is NEVER Heard! | WREATH::DROTTER | | Mon Sep 17 1990 14:18 | 25 |
| There are art critics, drama critics, and restaurant critics, etc.
Having been to Burns' Bar & Grille, (a.k.a. the Peter Rd. Pub)
on a few occasions, I thought i might put in a review of this
local watering hole.
First off, the ambiance is quite good: why you'd think you were
in a pub anywhere Ireland. Well, maybe not Ireland in general,
definitely not Cork, perhaps somehwere in Clare as an approximate location.
The beer/ale/porter selection is a bit thin, as another critic
around here has already stated: in my few visits to Burns', I have
yet see any Murphy's stout on tap. But the other selections are
suitable. And while there is an ample selection of spirits to be had,
Cork Dry Gin was noticably absent. This was disappointing for me
personally considering the importance of Cork on the Irish sporting
scene. :-> On the plus side, the poteen is strong and plentiful,
and it makes a great substitute in my favorite mixed drink, a "BB" :->
Service is quick, courteous, and friendly. The barman is knowledgeable
about all things Irish. West of the Shannon. :->
All in all, a delightful exerience awaits the thirsty traveller at
Burns' Bar & Grille. And when you're there, tell the barman you want
a "BB" made with CDG.

I heard on the radio last that there are still some tickets for
the monday and tuesday shows.
I also heard that BBC2 are showing a documentary about the life
and works of the songwriter Ewan MacColl on sunday night at ten
to nine. I won't see it myself as sunday night is session night
but knowing the BBC it'll be on again next year.

A note of SPECIAL THANKS to Brendan Blake for sending me the "almost"
impossible to obtain "Christy Moore Poster" and to Willie O'Farrell
for sending me the new Christy Moore tune "Welcome to the Carbaret" PLUS
a copy of "Amhran na Bhiann" (No pub is complete without this) :-)
Your always welcome at the "Banner Inn" (aka "The 33rd County")

806.17 | Happy Birthday Christy Moore | FORTY2::DONOVAN | | Wed May 10 1995 08:11 | 8 |
|
Happy 50th birthday to Christy Moore ! I nearly ran him over in a
car park last week, but he managed to get out of the way in time.
He sits down on stage now, and has taken to wearing a little
black hat; I thought he was a parish priest at first - strange . . .
John

806.18 | When will he be touring the US again? | ESBTST::GREENAWAY | | Wed May 10 1995 12:06 | 8 |

If anyone hears of a US Christy tour let us know asap.
I've been listing to him a lot lately and could use a Christy fix.
I love his passion and style.
Cheers,
Paul
