Saw THK on our station last Thursday, and I liked it! They were live during the pledge breaks so it made the beg-a-thons easier to take! Usually, if we record a PBS Show, we edit out the Begathon. This time, because I was part of it, Dave recorded the whole thing!  The presenters mentioned the name of the Irish American Cultural Society a few times, and showed our banner, so we were glad of the exposure. However, we tried to get some of our younger members to come along and volunteer, but they were all "busy". We were afraid the viewers would see all of us oldies and think "I'm not joining that bunch of old ***** (rhymes with arts)!  MAGGIE!! You are anything BUT an old.... !!! Love, Sister Zee |

I think you mean Finbarr Clancy, Jim. BTW I need to correct something I posted the other day, I said I have 2 CDs which Martin Furey recorded with his sister Aoife.......his sister's name is Aine Furey: The only thing I don't like about this Bohinta CD is the cover, which is half Aine's face and half Martin's.....it's weird, and they could have come up with a better one, the music deserves it. http://www.finbarfurey.com/bohinta.htmAine has a good CD of her own too: http://www.celticcollections.com/product/Aine-Furey/CCCD_600I got her confused with Aoife Clancy, who is Finbarr's sister: http://www.aoifeclancy.com/Both ladies are very talented. You have to realize I've been listening to the Furey's and Clancy's music for 30 years, and it's easy to get confused when there is so much talent and musical heritage in those families. |

A little late in reading all of this but I'm caught up now. Wow, the guys sound really nice, although I'm not at all surprised. I can't wait to finally watch the DVD next Saturday (I'm holding out for the chat, lol). From what I heard in the arena before the CW concert, it's going to be gooooooooooooood. And speaking of Finbarr Clancy, I actually have a third cousin named Finbarr. (My Dad's side of the family is VERY Irish, lol). Never met him though. Maybe he's a musician like this Finbarr, hehehe. |

Finbarr Clancy was named after Finbar Furey, Martin's Dad....I guess they gave him an extra 'r' to be different!
The Clancy's and Furey's often played and toured together. |

I have the snail mail address as well as the email addresses of every PBS Station of those cities that Lads will be having a show in during their 2008 USA Fall Tour.
I will be sending out both snail mail today to each, as well as following up by email asking if they could Re-Air the Special to promote the Lads Tour.
Any one who is interested contact Timi or myself for the addresses.
Safe Journeys & God Bless
