It's got a whole new cast of Black 47 characters, It's celebratory, full of passion, and audiences are already singing along. We could have run down the clock on this coming year of gigs and farewells, but instead we decided to record a new album, Last Call. We've fought to get political prisoners out of jail, keep immigrant churches openĪnd be a voice for the voiceless - Irish and otherwise. That Black 47 has always been more than a band. From Paddy Reilly's Pub to Farm Aidīut none of it would have been possible without you - our friends and fans who stuck with us through thick and thin. What a long, strange and amazing trip - from the bars of the Bronx to Leno, Letterman and O'Brien. See the real Ireland, meet the real people and make new friends forever.įor INFO speak to Joe or Sue 86 or write a flyer: Īs you know by now Black 47 will disband in November 2014 exactly 25 years after our first gig. Savor the history of the 1916 Uprising, Kilmainham Jail, The Guinness Storehouse, and the pubs, clubs, parks, and cultural centers. We'll visit Dublin - hometown of Oscar Wilde, Phil Lynott, Luke Kelly. I'll perform at the Arts Centre, and we'll party afterwards in legendary Mary's Bar with my family and friends. Then off to historic Wexford, Vikings settled there, King Henry II did penance in Selskar Abbey, Cromwell sacked it, you'll find ghosts aplenty on its narrow cobbled streets. Outward bound we'll stop for lunch in Killarney. We'll stay in Dingle Town with fishing boats jigging in the harbor and the mighty craic and traditional music in its many pubs. Kerry & the Dingle Peninsula to Slea Head past beehive stone huts, megalithic ruins, settings from Star Wars & Ryan's Daughter. ![]() Galway is 2020 European Capital of Culture, full of street performers, bookstores, cafes & a vibrant night life throbbing to the beat of Irish traditional music. We 'll focus on Galway City and Inis Mór, the largest Aran Island.
