Cranky George Trio is scheduled on May 12, 2006 at 8pm at Molly Malone's.
I'm actually on the west coast that week. Maybe I'll skip out on my other event & fly down & see them!

oooohhhh my aching head.... too much wine last night
Territa--the show was wonderful!!!!!!!the band just keeps getting better all the time--and they have been adding new songs to the set. also, James played a new insrument last night--something like a handheld keyboard that he blew air into thru a tube --dont know what its called.I chatted with James afterwards--always a thrill--he is so nice
A Pogues fan we met at Connolly's in New York named Richard also made it to the show last night and he really liked Cranky George too.
Back to bed for me--no energy... hangovers suck.

Oh--i have forgotten to mention that James sang "Green Grass of Home" Friday--lovely! last year , James had told us that he had not been allowed to sing it with Pogues. see below for James posting April 2005:
"And once, it was suggested I sing the Green Grass of Home, but I had barely started, at a sound check at the Hope and Anchor, that the microphone was summarily taken away from me, and I have been more or less mute ever since. With the rare exception, Wild Rover possibly among them, but I can't remember that at all".

Sounds like a melodica to me - a much maligned and underrated instrument.

i just looked up "melodica"--yes--it was similar looking.

Heh, I bought myself one for $25 earlier in the year. They make for an awesome sound when thrown through a mixer with a bunch of reverb on.

Bummed out that I missed it but I had 4 shows the next day and had to save my energy. I really hope they play again soon. I've GOT to see them!

Carmen was in RARE form Friday. hahahahaha
I think I cried from laughing so much. Not even a quarter way through the CG set..."I'm drunk"
It just fell downhill from there as you can imagine since that was probably around 9pm.
Toooo much fun. Too much.

It really was a great show. I'm so glad that I made the trip out. Got to talk for a minute to James & Dermot. Great music, truely nice guys & a touch of McGyver as well. (Moral: Never leave home without duct tape!)
Thanks for a great evening!
And a live CD would be a sure sale (hint hint!)
