13 Jul 11 - 09:37 AM (#3186664) Subject: InOBU opens his music & theater pub From: InOBU Well, Friends, you might have noticed a certain lack of posting for the past few ... em... years. Well, hard at work reorganizing the family biz, Theatre 80. One of the big projects was to realize me da's dream of having a full licence for the tap room in the theater, the bar put in in 1922, when it was a speakeasy. The happy news is that we are now slinging booze, and soon will be hosting Sunday evening Celtic and folk nights... may even play sometimes myself. We are featuring a wee drink I invented (I hope) and named after a wee girl from a great song, Jack Hagerty... The Molly Tucker, is a drink based in Rye and apples, which like the girl in the song, sometimes kicks. Well... folks and folkies, drop in for a tune and a dram. By the way... we are also now presenting, in the theater, Silence, a musical comedy version of Silence of the Lambs... very funny. All the best Lorcan |

Still can kick... Lor |

(Couldn't see any on the 'photos' page). Shame it's so far away - I have a sneaky liking for magic shows, even though I know how most of it's done! |

I used to go to old movies there when I lived in NYC in the late 70s, early 80s. Was it your family then? Small world! That's the first time I ever saw the Wizard of Oz in color! I'd only seen it on the family black and white television before then. SRS |

13 Jul 11 - 08:21 PM (#3187123) Subject: RE: InOBU opens his music & theater pub From: GUEST,Guest,Zhenya How will the Celtic / folk crowd recognize the name if you change Molly to Annie?! Touchstone and Mick Hanly both sing it as Molly. I see one of the Mudcat versions doesn't have a woman's name at all, but reads "My thoughts were on money"! Seriously, congratulations and I hope to go to some of those Sunday events, among other things. Will there be singing as well as tunes? I know you do both. Zhenya ( aka Harriet from Dempsey's, although I've not been there recently.) |
