Thread Name: Happy Birthday Packie Byrne-born 17 Feb 1917
Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Packie Byrne
Maggie and I will be there too to help Packie have a great birthday.
I first met him in 1965 at the first Keele festival, when he was singing and playing some wondeful stuff.
I always remember him saying to me once when I enquired after his health
"Well I lived through the winter and the Devil himself won't kill me in the summer" He's the Irish equivalent of a Good Old Boy!
