Yeah it sure is, my one has loads of history behind it. It was rode by the First Woman Maeve Mulvany to race competetively on the Irish Road Racing scene and the bike was raced at the North West & IOM TT."

I don't know Maeve Mulvany but my father was Dickie Shannon's brother and I am trying to get in contact with Tom Neary.

I met Butch and Maeve at the keg room in Springfield Ma. Travelled with them to the cape, Conway NH, and Matt Kane's in Washington DC. I sang on the Night at the Keg room with our friends album. I remember when Rory and later Tara were born. I remember meeting you Tony when they lived just outside of Springfield. I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear that they had passed. They were wonderful friends, and they are truly missed.

In the early to mid-'70s, Butch and Maeve were the highlight of the summer on Cape Cod. They appeared every season at the Century Club in Falmouth where Jan and Jim Campbell provided Irish entertainment from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Grand times they were.
Many a night, Butch and Maeve wound up at our cottage on Round Pond where we all saw the sun come up. Often, everyone took a nap before driving them to their place on Route 28.
they were warm and wonderful people and dear friends to all who crossed their path.
They are with a lot of the lads now.

Hi! I came across this when I was googling Maeve's name. I am sorry to hear of Butch and Maeve both passing. Like many others on this thread, it was my first exposure to Irish music. But just to throw a twist in here, I heard them at Ryan's Pub in New Orleans back in the 80's. I'll never forget that night. I was visiting my best friend who is an Irish nun and she asked if I would like to go hear some Irish music that night. I kinda thought that was strange because at that time I didn't connect New Orleans with Irish music! I totally enjoyed their music.

Very fun to stumble across this thread! Both Maeve and Butch's passing was so sad to hear about. I grew up listening to them in Holyoke, with my parents Jean and Bill Dean and of course Larry Chesky of Rex Records. He produced quite a few of their later records. He also passed away some years ago.
Tara, I don't know if you remember me, but we met back when you were about 16 I believe. We were at an amusement park where your Mom was playing and we kept each other company!

Tara:

Many decades ago, my father (Tom Bowen) loved your Mom and Dad ! I have a tape of both of them singing at his retirement party. My memories of the Parting Glass and your Mom and Dad over the house are many. Just listening to an RTE "Foggy Dew" Rendition and my thoughts go to your mom. My Best

Only recently I had some contact with Maeve's daughter Tara and she is still seeking out any memorabilia that people might have. I'm so glad that Tara contacted Me on messenger on the off chance that I might be able to help in some small way otherwise I would never have came upon this thread. I have searched high and low over the past few days trying to find out anything about Tara's Mother Maeve. It was lovely reading all the comments, the names of familiar and not so familiar artists and the venues they frequented. It looks like Maeve and Butch were the real deal. This is gold dust and we will never see their likes again
