Whats up with that? Paris for St. Paddy’s and now Easter in Asia. No particular reason. We are not trying to get out of Dublin on Catholic holidays. On top of that we are sitting in a tapas bar listening to Cuban music in Singapore. Cultural overload!! I love the Cuban grooves. I wonder if I could do them justice as a solo. Might try someday :-)

I know I should be working in a pub in Dublin somewhere but I’ve worked them before. I’ve never seen a St Patrick’s day in Paris :)
A crepe and expresso by the Madeleine is what I’m enjoying today! I hope my friends working the crowds in Ireland have a great week end though. I’ll be chillin with my wife in Paris.

Martin and I were having fun and in good form. Martin didn’t even try his Wayne Newton impersonation. Funny, but I kind of missed it.

It’s the pub connected to a hotel on Kildare street called The Kildare Street Hotel. I get a very diverse crowd and everyone is visiting Dublin. http://www.kildarestreethoteldublin.com/.

It holds true to my theory that people on vacation are easy to play for. Currently they are remodeling the pub and the night club. We’ll see how things pan out there but its a nice place to play. My lovely wife came in with my mother in law last night too. We celebrated my wife’s birthday. I won’t mention which birthday. :–)

We had a great group of young people from France and Spain.  I had a request for “La Bamba”, (no surprise) and the 1970s classic “Dust in the Wind”. “Dust in the Wind”? Are you kidding me? I would have never guessed this young audience would have even known of that song. Their parents, must have played it for em. :)

I’ll look forward to going back to that gig soon.

(Temple Bar) http://wilsings.com/%catagory%/another-last-minute-gig-tonight-temple-bar http://wilsings.com/%catagory%/another-last-minute-gig-tonight-temple-bar#comments Thu, 08 Mar 2012 13:34:46 +0000 Wil http://wilsings.com/?p=380 The spring music season seems to be heating up. At least in my universe. Got a call today to play at “The Purty Kitchen” tonight in Dublin City Centre. http://http://www.purtykitchen.com/

I haven’t performed near as much in Temple Bar as I have around the Dublin area so this will be interesting and exciting. I’ll get to entertain some tourists. Maybe even some Americans. OMG! :-)  I’ll fire up around 9pm.

I love it when that happens. A spontaneous gig that could turn into a great regular gig.  Thanks to Tom at the pub and Anthony Bools for getting us in the door!

I’m still threatening to take the mic away from Martin during a gig unless he quits with the Wayne Newton impersonation at the end of “American Pie”.

St. Paddy’s Day looming on the horizon.
