Sorcha Dorcha at New Age Cabaret

Sorcha Dorcha will be playing at the New Age Cabaret in New York City, 23 Saint Marks Place (8th street between 2nd ave and 3rd ave) on May 17 from 8 - 10. Info number is 718 809 9895. I hope we get a good turn out, as this new cafe is trying to hang on in spite of developers trying to take their building away in court. They run a homeless shelter and a Narcotics Anonimous center in the same building and the new cafe helps support those efforts.
Now, for some reason, few New Yorkers seem to listen to folk music these days, or at least most Mudcatters seem to live elsewhere. SO, if you are a New York Mudcatter, and want to hear songs about highwaymen, and rogues, and good old Ceili music, come by.
All the best
Larry

Larry, considering your advancing years, you ought to be able to knock 'em dead at the "Old Age Cabaret."

Cosidering the same, I hope I dont knock myself dead as well, ol pal! By the way, I am old enough to remember that the New Age Caberet was the old Electic Circus, the first real modern discotech in New York, 1968? earlier? The grey cells are going south.
All the best

I still have the micromini dress I wore to the Electric Circus in 1964. My son is convinced it is a blouse and wonders where my thighs went when I wore it.

I have put May 17th on my calendar. Wish I could wear the dress but that just isn't ever going to happen again.

Have a good'un, Larry, me old son.

Sorry I haven't been around lately. Life sort of took over, and will continue to do so at least for a while, but everything should be back to normal by the 22nd, we hope!! I'll send you that tape of the Copenhagen gigs DEFINATELY THIS WEEK.

All the best, and I'll be in contact soon.

Hey Brother, Wit
Brigid (Loise) is at the Kentucky Derby this week, as a daughter of Ol Kentuck, however, she will be back this week and ready for the gig, at which time I will pass on your note, ol pal. She had a great new song, I have to send you the tape. I am a bit behind in such things.
All the best to the family and we will dedicate THE tune to Jobber

I realize I mut've missed something, but what is Sorcha Dorcha---a person? a group? If he/she/it is playing a New Age place the music must be pretty laid back--so's not to wake anybody.

Art from what I gather "laid back" would describe neither Larry's piping OR his lyrics! It's a band, and if I could I'd show you how to get to their website, but I'm still computer illiterate.(although I get to know more and more about humans everyday!)

Art!
Laid back! We sing a lot of Highway man songs, songs about eating children (Tom of Bedlam) and then it really get going! We sing some of my stuff about the murder of Amadou Diallo, the murder of Gysies in the Czech Republic (sorry Petr, I dont mean to get us started again!) and the forced assimilation of Canadian Natives and the theift of their land by Hydro Quebec! THEN there is the Ceile music! We have the irrepressable Mike McDonnald on fiddle, an intence musician, the mysterious Gordo Abrams on flute and mandolyn (what did he just say? the front table murmer at his rye and sometimes inappropriate comments...) the Gamin (Brigid Kaelin - no relationship to Kato)with her WONDERFUL voice... and this Uilleann Piper, who has been known to hang out with Pavees and Rom, well, laid back, I dont think so. Check back latter today, I have to update our Web page and I will hot link for you to get a look at us...
Sorcha Dorcha is named after the patron saint of Irish Pavees (Travellers).
All the best...

A Lorcán,

I love the new pics on your website! So when are you going to add a couple of sound files to the site? If you need some help doing that, this is surely the place to find the folks to help -- just ask Kevin McGrath for starters.

I'm so glad that this new place seems to be working out for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!

Ádh mór oraibh, Áine

Gorra maith agut, Áine: Unfortunately we have our FREE page from aol, and I dont believe that such pages support a sound file, though I may be wrong, and in fact, you inspire me to post a querry! Thanks again, Lor
