Thread Name: Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soirees
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soire
I last saw Jem in November 2007 - the day he was barred from the pub I was playing in. Frank had to go into hospital shortly after for a few months and in the meantime I changed to a pub in Stoneybatter so lost contact with the gang. Jem's voice was gone though at that stage - he could hardly even speak. I met Frank only once since, at a Gerry Crilly gig in Dundrum, from which I was barred the following week (not my fault, a fight between two gig organizers), so again was out of touch. If I hear anything I'll let you know. In the meantime I'm planning to post some old songs and lyrics that I learned from Jem, Gerry, Frank and others on my site. Don
