Guess what school.
And “no” this doesn’t belong to The Lady.
This belongs to Mike McBride who played for and won the National Championship
game in 1973…

Hi Everybody…..

Below is a note announcing the 1st monthly session night at The Shamrock
Club of Columbus.
Unfortunately, I’m going to miss this one due to shows in Georgia, but I
hope that some or all of you can attend……

I’d like to thank Pat Mogan, Hilda and Frank Doyle for all of their
efforts in getting this started.
And to Bob Kirby for sharing his dreams with us!

Now for the Note:

Announcing the first monthly Shamrock Club session, named in honor the
the late, great Bob Kirby to be celebrated this coming Friday evening.
The club has asked Rick Smith and I to organize this and subsequent
sessions to benefit the Shamrock Club and members. The plan is to hold
session nights every 3rd Friday of the month. The sessions will begin at
7:00 and go ’till no later than 11:00.

President to be Frank Doyle and the lovely Hilda are asking that all
local Irish entertainers please consider joining in to help make these
evenings successful and enjoyable for participants and members. The
format will be less rigid than that for the sessions we used to hold at
Tara Hall. Good musicians are always the core of a great Irish session
(or seisiun) and will be prominent at the Kirby sessions. In addition we
are welcoming singers and seannchie (story tellers) to add their talents
for the enjoyment of all. Step dancers…..COME ON DOWN!

Basically the Kirby sessions at the Shamrock Club will be a venue for
displaying our Irish/Celtic culture and spirit in the Irish pub
format….as Bob Kirby would have wanted.

All hard core traditional musicians are encouraged to lend us your
talent for one evening a month. You can still get your fix of the hard
driving trad evenings at the Claddagh Pub on Sunday evenings in German
village thanks to the efforts of Rick, Tom Davis, and the other faithful
folk who have kept sessions alive in central Ohio for 20 years or more.

Let’s make this happen!

Thanks

Pat Mogan

Hey Everyone…..

I just wanted to take a second to Thank Everyone that came out to
Byrne’s Pub last Saturday Night.
It was one of the Biggest Crowds that I have seen in quite a while for a
show at the Pub!
I very very much thank you for the support.. Roger, John, Eric and Mark
are a great group of guys to be up on stage with and they have really
made me feel at home…..
And so have you…..

I’m very excited about this upcoming weekend with the trip to Augusta
and Savannah. If our last few shows are any indication of what’s ahead
for this weekend…..
Then…..watch out Georgia!!!!!

Just a little ps for my GH and GHI friends…
The Lady and I are going to stay a day longer to do a little hunting in
the most haunted of all cities in America. I know you’re all
jealous……EVP’s baby…..
(I know…..I’m a Ding Dong!)

Anyways, to conclude, I just want to say that I’m not only excited about
this upcoming weekend but also with the weekends to come…….

I’ll be seein’ ya soon…..
