Happy Christmas every one |

Another year under the belt and another notch! I've spent a good
part of the year back in Dublin my old hometown, but the monthly
Cushy club has survived and continues to play an important part
in my music and that of a few other artists, I hope. My undying
thanks to every one who contributes in making it so. |
I've had to do with out my rhythm, bottom and bone of late, this
month I will be similarly unfettered. Mrs Paul (drums) is expecting
at any time and John (bottom) will be in Greece furthering the
Hefner cause. Jackie (bone) has been  offered
paid work at some fancy corporate do, though she is threatening
to make a late appearance. I shall be there regardless with my
RHATIGAN song sheet ready to regale
you with tunes of your choice |

The Cushy Christmas party is usually very busy so I recommend
booking tickets in advance not least as there is a lot of interest
in my guests. |
MENLO PARK have come to the attention
of London 'live music' aficionados, for putting on extravagant
theme based shows. The scale and ambition of these productions,
the most recent being a thoroughly entertaining night at Shoreditch
Town Hall, means that they do not play very often. Arguably the
fantastic production on these occasions has tended to obscure
some great song writing as evidenced on their debut eponymous
album which is out now on Belgium based Cutty Shark Records.
They  are an acoustic based
quartet of voodoo cajun country folk madness, which stripped
back to it's roots should be perfect for the 12 Bar Club. |

It's nearly a year since my friends THE
LONG GOOD LUCK were last here. It's been a year which has
seen them go from strength to strength with the release of their
debut single 'She's in Control' on Evil
World Records, a follow up should be expected next year.
Framed with bass and viola, lyricist Eugene sings his tormented
lust ballads from bitter experience it is almost impossible not
to empathise with his songs about doomed nights out and dancing
at the Loughbourough Hotel. |

First on is a tall (6'4'') young songwriter called JOHN
LACY from Yorkshire I believe. I don't know any more than
that! |

I should also mention that in a fit of madness I decided to make
this a Victorian theme party and the first 10 people to come
dressed accordingly will be admitted free, for the rest of you
it will be £5 or £4 with flyers ... Doors
