As someone who was also at that show I should point out that Black 47 rocked the joint quite mightily - the packed club was totally on their feet and bouncing to the music well into the wee hours. It occurred to me then that the mixture of reggae and celtic instruments combined with the energy of the music reminded me a lot of the Hooters' club shows back when they mostly played places like the Ambler Cabaret, 23 East, and the Ripley Music Hall. Nice retelling of your Larry Kirwan story - interesting perspective from six years on. Hard to believe it’s been six years since the night of that Finnegan’s Wake show.
