Subject: Review: Pat cooksey in Cologne
I have just got back from the gig with Pat Cooksey, Sean Cannon, James Cannon and the German Irish band Stokes. Fine gig it was too. It was part of a promotion for the Irish Tourist board, but none the worse for that. There were several sets and even a couple of "pub sessions", away from the main stage so that we could hear these fine singers and musicians without a PA. I am sure that anyone who has met Pat and Sean will tell you that they are both gentlemen. The pleasant surprise was Sean's son James. He is likeable young chap and a very good singer, who could well carve out a path of his own. Pat writes simple, resonant songs, which carry well. Thanks everyone for a very enjoyable afternoon. I will be stoppping by for that beer next time I am in Nürnberg Pat. Schöne Grüße an Brigitte!
