Thread Name: The Watersons at The RAH
Subject: RE: The Watersons at The RAH
They are Jeri.
They'll be in Boston next Staurday evening. Justine & I will be heading down there after a bit of the shanty session. I expect that they'll draw a fair size crowd.
They aren't as well known in the Irish music circles though. Years ago (maybe 25) I went to see DeDanan at an afternoon gig they had in Boston at the Black Rose (not really publicized) it was packed with Irish musicians. After the 1st set they introduced their friend & had him up on stage to join them, Lou Killen, then with Lou staying up they brought up the Watersons. The crowd had no idea of what was happening, it was quite a show, most were lost & dazed but enjoyed & left wondering what was all that (this was very pre Voice Squad). Me, I was almost pissing my pants, waiting, having seen them in the crowd thinking something's up but not knowing that DeDanan were such friends & fans of theirs. t was WOW!
