A big thankyou to all who came out for the 9th annual all-star irish rock revue at Webster Hall. It was a tremendous evening of great music and super singers, and the Campaign to Save St Brigid's was thrilled with the fundraising and the support from the audience and all the performers. Stars from the worlds of Broadway, Rock and Roll, Cabaret, folk, punk, and UK comedy graced the stage as did US Senators, assemblymen, activists, dancers, and the ocassional lunatic. The All-Star Band held it together superbly with special thanks to the 'new boys in the band' Mr Steve Goulding of the Mekons, and Mr Mark Bosch of Ian Hunter band for rolling with the madness and playing in such fine style.
The Myspace.com/irishrockrevue has photos and press up from the event, as well as some video footage - the first ever fully-edited performances from an Irish Rock Revue (the entire show was filmed in a multi-camera shoot) Also, reviews of the show will be posted, as will Joe's own personal take on the night, and a section from Mr Edwin Torres, St Brigid's Chairman, with his sentiments and thoughts on the whole experience.
