Last year I made a major mistake… I forgot to get tickets for Black 47’s farewell concert at BB King’s and I lived to regret it when I couldn’t get on the press list either, thereby missing the finishing end of the second Greatest Irish rock band ever.
Yup, they’re gone, but lead singer and songwriter Larry Kirwan sure ain’t and he is playing the Cutting Room on St. Patrick’s Day…
“Have a great St. Patrick’s Day Weekend!
See Larry Kirwan solo St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 at The Cutting Room, NYC 7pm
http://tickets.thecuttingroomnyc.com/calendar/ with Lia Fail Pipes and Drums.
Larry Kirwan will host St. Patrick’s Day Radio on SiriusXM, Ch. 28 – The Spectrum – from 6amET March 17th until 3amET, March 18th. Rock, Trad, and all associated types of Irish music for 21 straight hours without a drink – look in my brown eyes and trust me! All this will include a repeat broadcast of a red hot 2 hour Black 47 show from BB King’s, NYC.
Wear your Black 47 T-Shirt St. Patrick’s Day. Make new friends and slight old enemies. Keep the tradition alive! ALL Black 47 CDs and T-Shirts on sale www.black47.com SHOP.”
It sounds like a plan to me and I would be shocked if we don’t get a big dollop of Black 47’s back catalog, I mean Larry wrote em, why wouldn’t he play them? Which means that while, no, it isn’t the great Irish rockers, it is about as close as you are gonna get. So get there.
