Hiya Johnny.

Yeah, Me too. I've been out of regular work, and looking pretty hard for about 2 years now. In a post-recession industrial city like this one, it sucks hardish. My condolences.

I know what you mean. Whereabout's in the big old world are you? I'd be lucky with the schedule I have planned on this shoe-string, self-funded, low-key promotional 'tour' of Ireland to find the time to scratch meself and eat once a day, let alone party. Seeing The Pogues would be a pipe-dreamish indulgence at best. Drinks? Indulgent things like pillows? Pah!
That's not what this is about. Just ask a few of the other regulars in here. Nice to meet you by the way.

I'm not trying to convince
you, as such, but you're welcome to chip in if you ever feel the desire or can
genuinely afford to. The fundraiser will only last for 2 weeks as of yesterday, and if I can't get the ticket deposit together at least, all donations will be refunded back via Paypal.
I was actually mainly speaking to the folks in here that I've met over the last few years, who've already been kind enough in the past to try out my CD and such to show support for my music.
And again, it's not about 'partying', it's about
working. Catching up on opportunities before they melt away again.
So,
Seánín An Sionnach a chara, my bribe to YOU is, if you stump up more than $5 US into that wee tin, I'll send YOU a copy of my 2006 (only currently only) CD ($30 AUS value inc. global postage) at MY expense to the address of your choice, Sir.
Seem fair? Otherwise, no worries have a nice day, and I hope we all get to go places and do stuff some day together.
Pax vobiscum.
