Hello OIoiroish,

Canary tour is hard on the health for obvious reasons...............hogging. 2 great friends/musicians are going back to Ireland today, they are friends of Dermot (1 of the guys who owns the bar). Wow it was 1 helluva week, first class accordeon playing and the guy played bass & guitar........absolutely brilliant, they hogged all week as well and so they are feeling the effects as well.
Its quite warm out here, I seen the thermometer reading 33.C today, I´m just sweating alll the time.

Hello OIroioish,

Who´s backing me up now? I´m out in Gran Canaria and gigging in MacGowan´s Irish bar, Mickey & Dermot are the 2 owners/managers and they re also musicians, so I´m gigging with them now, Dermot is a guitar player7singer and Mickey plays the bouzouki & mandolin, I do the banjo and sometimes do guitar.

Back for new year? I´m not sure, I intend to get back to Ireland for 1 week in december but not sure if I´ll be there for new year.
Its a hogging island out here.

Michael
