Great night of music.Watch out America - have we got great Bluegrass talent or what!!
Well done Sandy and Neill!! Great line-up. Neil and his band were on top form and had the place swinging. Another of my favorites the Sick and Indigent Song Club were oozing talent as usual. Watch out for this band and go and see them whenever you get the opportunity.I wont even name them as all 6 of them as individually so talented I would have to write a paragraph on each. Gary and Angie phew - having seen them many times before what you hear on this programme is only a taster.
It was my first time seeing I Draw Slow and such talent with the beautiful voice of Louise Holden and sweet sweet guitar playing of Dave Holden, great five string banjo backup from Colin.
Jerry O'Conner surprised us with great Blusgrass on the Tenor banjo with great backing on the guitar from Stephen? Doherty from Donegal. I did not envy his task to keep up with Gerry.
Sorry how could I forget the sweet voice Paula Flynn - my first time hearing her.
Such talent - what a night!! Well done Neil and Sandy and the RTE team under Aidan Butler..
Please do it again sometime soon!!

RTE live music in the Sean O'Casey Community Centre last night 17th Oct.
Great great night - Thanks Sandy Harsch and Niall Toner for a fantastic night's entertainment.
What a line up -Miss Paula Flynn, I Draw Slow, The Sick and Indigent Song Club, Gerry 'Banjo' O'Connor and the Niall Toner Band.
My favorite Irish band were playing The Sick and Indigent Song Club and they played and sang their hearts out. Watch out for this group and don't miss them.
Niall toner was of course in top form as usual.
I had not heard "I Draw Slow" before and was well entertained by the beautiful voice of Louise Holden with sweet sweet guitar playing from Dave Holden, not to for get the 5string banjo of Colin.
Gerry surprised us with bluegrass on the tenor banjo!!
I should mention Sheila Sullivan for the Sick and Indigent who supported all acts with her great fiddle playing.
Nearly forgot Miss Paula Flynn's sweet voice with great guitar backing.
Last word thanks RTE -top class night - felt the session could have continued through the night.
