SfanGoch Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Are we going to do a separate Irish band thread?If that happens, let me mention Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers. I spent many an evening at Tommy Makem's Irish Pavilion, on East 57th Street, marinating my brain cells with Black bush while listening to Rebel music.

I saw him every so often during my Trump Tower days. He lived at The Galleria, on East 57th Street, with Carla Bruni. After his son died in 1991, she moved into Trump tower.

SfanGoch Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) You're such a name dropper... It's all part of being a boulevardier without the money. I schmoozed around with the right people in my younger days. Google "David Mugrabi". I used to get booze for him, his brother and friends when the parents were out.

maltsr Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Oh, I forgot to mention Queen was the opening act. I saw Queen supporting Mott the Hoople at Leeds Town Hall in 1973 - great gig! Must have been the same tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
