Subject: RE: In Praise of Brian O'Rourke
The CD is great but you really need to see and hear the man live. We had him as a guest both in Nenagh a number of years back and in Bray about 3 years ago. He has written a number of songs which are not yet recorded. But it is live performance that is important. On his initial rendering of Chantelle it took him nearly 45 minutes to get through the song because of the constant laughter which was so loud he had to stop until it subsided.

If you are reading this Brian I look forward to seeing you in Ballyvaughan on 11th 12th 13th 14th February. 29 years this year.
