Re: Joe to play Dublin again

Kenny, the bust you are using as your picture looks a lot like Dave Mustaine of Megadeth.  Is it of you or someone you happen to know?  Either way it is way cool.

Thanks - it is Paul Kossoff of Free. Made specially for me by his late father.

Re: Joe to play Dublin again

Logistically its too much of a risk for me as I have Buddy Guy in Glasgow on the 30th. Saw Neil Young in Vicar Street many years ago and its a great venue. Holds 1,500 if there is standing.

Yes thank you, might not have know otherwise.  Not many seats left but I got good ones.

I have no idea why this nearly passed me by, Buddy Guy is pretty much high on my desperitly want to see list.

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone. That way we get the whole place to ourselves. Our own private show wink

Actually I was so glad they didn't sell out instantly since we kind of waited a while to make a decision on these. In the end couldn't resist since it's the smallest place he'll be playing this show. Smaller club, everyone on the floor standing. I'll take this over big outdoor shows any day. Should be pretty intense smile
