Justice for Pat O’Donnell

O'Donnell vigil outside Castlerea
NIFC members join recent weekly demonstration of
Justice for Pat O'Donnell outside Castlerea Prison.

Photobucket

The jailing of Pat O'Donnell is a travesty of justice. He is just the
latest victim by the (Irish) state which has put the interests of Shell
and private profit above the interests of its own citizens.
Photobucket
Photobucket

Pat should be released immediately. Shell's project in Mayo should
be halted and the significant oil and gas reserves nationalized and used
to fund public services.

The Prodigals at Paddy Reilly’s - Friday Night, March 5th, 2010

Photobucket
Nothing says brilliant New York Irish sound like the Prodigals, who have been gigging since 1997, gaining world wide acclaim and international fame as one of New York’s hottest Irish bands, with the New York Times calling them “indelibly Irish”, music journalist John O‘Regan, calling their music “ a molotov cocktail of irish music and rock & roll”, and Rock n’ Reel magazine, claiming that The Prodigals are “the best funky-Celtic-folksters doing the rounds…wholly inspirational”, and after seeing them last night at historical Paddy Reilly’s on the corner of 2nd Avenue and E. 29th , I am inclined to wholeheartedly, agree.
Photobucket
Nothing says more about a great band than one that never fails to keep a gyrating and tumultuous live audience , dancing with abandon , shaking it like it’s nobody’s business, and boogying and revelling with a devil may care attitude, and no one has mastered this like The Prodigals.
Photobucket
From beginning to end, from the minute they came on stage at 11 PM and finished their set at 2 AM, their audience remained singing along to every word to classics like “Paddy’s Heaven”, “One True Cause”, “Quart of Gin”, “Works Too Bloody Hard”, ( a Gregory Grene original from his solo album, “Freedom Now!), “Whiskey Asylum”, “Going Home”, “New York Lullaby”, “Bunch of Red Roses”, “Jackie Hall”, “Happy Man”, “Dreaming In Hell’s Kitchen”, “Allright Son”, “Ball of Alcohol”, “Uncle Arthur”, “Black Eyed Gypsy”, “I Don’t Care”, the funky-reggae Celt-Boogie of “Ballybay, and my favorite Prodigals crowd-pleaser, their kick-arse version of “Spancil Hill” (played with intensity in one brilliant medley with “Ghost Riders In The Sky”), with every single person in attendance moving and grooving to that Prodigals New York Paddy beat. Singles shimmy-shimmied , Couples did their own versions of the Irish Waltz or the Plastic Paddy Tango, and their was even a granny dancing with her cane amidst the rowdy dancers and boogiers.
Photobucket

Lead singer and accordion player, the legendary Gregory Grene, really keeps a captive audience, his accordion boom-boom filling the dancefloor with frantic fandango go go goers, singing along to every word he croons with his Chi-town meets Cavan harmony. Galway native, Dave Fahy is equally proficient as a brilliant singer and guitarist, leading many songs with an unrivalled skill that defies all preconceptions of Irish music, with a voice that captures your attention and makes you want to dance the ceilidh.
Photobucket

New addition to the band, Cavan native and banjo player, Darren Maloney, is a fine addition to a fine and grand band, who, was curiously enough, playing the drums last night, instead of the mighty banjo. And last but not least, the Bulgarian Bass player, Ed Kollar, really adds a new dimension to the Prodigals Celtic street boogie. All in all, no one who attends a Prodigals gig will ever be bored, and unlike a gig in the woodlands of Oregon or watching the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall , the audience will never stand stiff as boards ready-made for coffin creation, but will shake and boogie like its noone’s goddamn business !!!!

Folk-Punk Musical Legend Dies. Alistair Hulett R.I.P

Photobucket

News travels fast in this twenty-first century, even without the benefit of mainstream media.

But just in case you haven't already heard, Alistair Hulett passed away last night (Thursday 28 January; about 5:30am on Friday morning Sydney time) in the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow, Scotland. Alistair was on the list for a liver transplant, but it seems it didn't arrive soon enough. And by this time, cancer had spread to other parts of Alistair's body.

Right till the very end, Fatima was there by Alistair's side. Fatima rallied the troops this week, and encouraged many of Alistair's friends and fans to send messages of support. These messages came flooding in, and kept Alistair cheered till the end.

History will judge Alistair to have been a fine singer and songwriter, from his punky days with Roaring Jack, through to his solo work, the albums he recorded with Dave Swarbrick and his final release with the Malkies. Many of Alistair's songs have been covered by both folk musicians and punk bands

Alistair was not only a great songwriter but a thoughtful interpreter of traditional Scottish and Irish music well.

Politics also dominated Alistair's life and his activities. Alistair got behind many causes in both Australia and Scotland. Who could forget Roaring Jack's successful campaign to release Tim Anderson, who was wrongly convicted of the 1978 Sydney Hilton Hotel bombing? Or the support Alistair and Roaring Jack gave to striking workers on Cockatoo Island? And his efforts to stop a community swimming pool from closing down in Glasgow.

I am sure there will be many activities in Britain to help remember Alistair. There will also be events in Australia for those who wish to celebrate Alistair's life and music.

Please let me know if you are interested in finding out more about the Australian events, and I will be sure to keep you informed.

Alistair Hulett will be greatly missed.
