THE IRISH SUPERGROUP
The Irish Supergroup!! NO, not U2 - The other one "The Saw Doctors". Can't believe there is more than one Irish Supergroup?? Well they crossed the pond to bless us with their presence again this past week. I was lucky enough to win just one ticket. The lads seemed grateful for the burst of warm weather that graced Boston this past weekend. The show was at The House of Blues on Landsdowne. It was a great fun. The HOB accommodated the sold out crowd in Bean-Town proclaiming it's Irish Pride! Warming up the crowd for the lads was Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of dreams. The Docs came out and Leo immediately commented on "the ruckus here" with a chuckle. All songs played with enthusiasm and encored with seven additional songs! Check out the band if you aren't familiar http://www.sawdoctors.com/. As usual, they put on a superb show and my feet hurt a little from dancing all night!
We were right up front (as usual). The Docs have been in the studio cutting new tracks. Sure to be hits, we were lucky enough to hear "Taking the Train" and "Be yourself". Of course we were blessed with the standby crowd pleasers "N17", "Green and Red of Mayo" (up Mayo!), "Never Mind the Strangers" and "Clare Island".
This is Anto jamming on the Sax like nobody's business!
The N17 Stickers are still on Sale - $2.00 each or three for $5.00- Shoot me an email or leave a comment and I will get them out to you.
WE ARE NOT TOTAL SLACKERS - My Sister, Veronica and I arose early the very next morning, still half-deaf from standing too close to the speakers the night before, and ran a 5K in Plymouth. We made a good showing and climbed the big hill appropriately named "the jaw dropper". A nice 250' steep incline so high we could see PTown from the crest. Ahhh, but where there's an uphill climb, there is a down hill climb. NICE JOB to everyone who ran!
US AT THE FINISH LINE!! Still Smiling so it can't be all that bad!

For the Docs Fans I will see you all in August at the next show! Slan go foill!
