Pravda


I payed Pravda last night in Dublin as part of working class heroes festival. No sound check but it sounded good. I could tell i hadn’t been singing in a week or two because my throat was weaker but i don’ think anyone noticed. Mary (Barnecutt) played cello with me and threatened to kill me if i ever played Throw your arms around me in the wrong key again. That’s her above havin a pre gig tea. We had a laugh. It is funny, i wrote it in one key and played it live in a different key for months before Mary pointed it out to me. Playing in a third key was a step too far though…hahahaa. Anthony a friend and fan from New York was there and it was good to see him. Him and his crazy friends had driven from New York to Canada to see clann zu play. they hung out with us for a few days and were cool guys. We went and saw a few songs of peaches and then rushed back to see the wonderful Valerie Francis play. Kevin her cellist is a fucking freak, he had one rehearsal and remembered it all by ear. Insane. I checked out Giveamanakick who tore it up and then called in quits. I’m really enjoying playing the new guitar. fair fucks to the guy who beat me on ebay for the case for it. Looking forward to Copenhagen on Saturday. I have never played in Denmark before.

    As soon as is humanly possible. I don’t have a record out there yet, but i will make it over one way or another next year. Mais je parle francais comme le vache espagnóle. If you have any suggestions for places to play let me know.

    I think it will be easy to find somthing in France, cause french people loves irish culture, especially irish music. I think you should have a look on the festivals in Bretagne.
    I discovered your music after your ukrainian journey ;-)
