What a Crazy Week

Well St Pat’s has come and gone and what a wonderful time it was for the Donnybrooks’ family. I’ve lost count of how many gigs we played and the pint count got up there pretty high as well (or so I’m told)… Still, a fine time was had by all and we’ve got quite a bit on our plate as we head into the weekend with appearances at the annual Richmond Irish Festival and then a Saturday night gig at Rare Olde Times.

A big Donnybrooks’ thank you to John O’Toole for his hospitality. We played at O’Toole’s last Saturday night (3/14) and then again on St Pat’s and wow, what a great time. Just a wonderful crowd, ready to sing along, very appreciative, and we can’t wait to go back. A huge bonus for us was the chance to hook up again with our buddies The Havers who had their fiddler pal with them (sorry, but I didn’t get her name) and Mike B wailing away on that sweet-sounding cajon; an exceptional upbeat set from those rockin’ Irish lads from the Tidewater.

Also kudos go out to our good friends at JJ’s Grill in Glen Allen where we close up our St Pat’s celebration. Great food and good times there as we performed to a packed house. We’re looking forward to a return there sometime later in the Spring.

That’s all for now, we’ll see y’all down at the festival where we’ll be the opening act just after the parade. Drop by and see us if you can and Erin Go Bragh.
