Always one step ahead of us, aren't you?

Yep, indeedy. I sing it as:
"The drunkard is a dirty man, he used me worst of all,
He drunk me up in his dirt maw,
And he pissed me against the wall."
But yep, that's the one - you should be getting your copy fairly soon with any luck, went out first thing Monday (YOUR Sunday).

Thanks! I'm looking forward to hearing your CD.

Could you save me time and post me phone numbers/email addresses for some of these venues? Bless the Behans!!!

Right off the bat, here is a site devoted to the NYC Area Irish pubs. The Hoboken link seems to be gone. So I can get a list to you about that town (just over the river from Manhatten)

That list is F%$&ING amAAAAAAzing! THanks to you both so far. I'm getting a real urge to do a self-funded 'tour' of just NY Irish pubs so far! Man, if I can find a promoter/agancy to get me some real gigs, I'll be there in a heartbeat.

Do. And give us all fair warning. There are a fair number of Irish pubs in my area as well.

Do let me know Mr. Fintan when you decide to get over this way. We'll hook up. I should have your songs down by then as soon as I get your CD in the "Snail Mail". We'll jam. I'll join you on stage.

There's many a pub stool & mic with Fintans' name on it in NY!!!

Yay you guys! Yay me! Yay all of us, each and every one, Gods bless our rotten little hides, yaaaaRRRRRRR!!!!! :lol:

I just have to *roughly* balance costs of airfare, accoms and consumables with intake of income to make this beast work, but I am SO there, guys! LEgendary, all of you, and THANKS again for your support! I hope you all live long-time to never regret it! :wink:

Gurrier (left) and Fintan share a glass of Jameson and toast all their fellow Medusans, at the Gaelic Club, Sydney on Saturday night's 'Fintan' gig. A fine time was had by all, tears were shed for The Famine and many's the song was sung (including a cúpla Pogues numbers).

Haha, it was lovely of you Fintan to give that wayward homeless man on the left who happened to stumble in a shot of that fine 12 year old whiskey!

Oh man what an awesome gig! I seriously dug it. The Irish Club should put more gigs on I reckon. I know you're going overseas soon but that was a pretty important gig you put on there, a catalyst of sorts. Hopefully there's more to come and if the club pulls its finger out there's more entertainment to be seen in the near future!

Are you considering playing there again?

Oh yeah I want to buy a cd as well. Where do I send a money order to?
