Thread Name: Maeve Mulvany - name ring a bell?
Subject: RE: Maeve Mulvany?
(Try again sorry.) I'm ashamed it took so long for me to find out the news of Butch and Maeve. A group of us from Delaware made many trips to Matt Kane's Bit of Ireland in Washington DC to see these fantastic performers in the '70s. They ALWAYS got to our requests and thankfully never played the unicorn song (as I recall). Butch would advise,usually at break, "We got tausands of requests...Tausends and tausends...and we're gonna get to every one of them!" There was always a friendly wave, smile and hug whenever we came to town, and Maeve always remembered my girlfriend's (and my) favorite, "Only Our Rivers Run Free." God bless and keep them both. What a lovely legacy to have made so many feel so joyful and special during and between performances. RIP
