2009 St Patrick's in The U.S.A.

 The Crazy Folkers travelled to the United States this year for the St Patrick's Day celebrations of 2009.   The last time the Folkers headed across the pond was to Seattle situated on the west coast.  This year they travelled east to Philadelphia - The City of Brotherly (Duffin) Love.  Did they rock it?.....YES THEY DID!                                                                                            

Straight off the plane and the Folkers took to the stage at the infamous Paddy Rooney's Pub in Havertown. The craic was good, the crowd were great and all those who helped Kevin play the drum were AWESOME! Thanks to Paddy for looking after the lads. Great to see family, friends and all the familiar heads from back home....a hell of a night had by all!

Saturday night and the Folkers rocked Murphy's Pub in Havertown. Brendan... you are one crazy dancer. Thanks for your support and for such a great night. Loved the setup - great stage!

Any trip to Philadelphia couldn't take place without a visit to Cawley's Bar in Upper Darby where the Folkers played on the Sunday night. Once again it was fantastic to meet up with loads of folk from back home. Can't mention them all but you know who you are. Thanks to Sean Cawley, his staff and all the locals for the drink, craic and entertainment!

After a well earned break on the Monday the Folkers took to resting and wandering the 'Streets of Philadelphia' before performing one final gig at the Fado Irish Pub in the city on the big day itself. Hopefully all who came enjoyed the entertainment as much as the Folkers enjoyed performing. The crowd were awesome ;) Thanks to all who looked after us on our first visit to this fine pub. Hope to return soon.

A final thank you to all our family and friends who came to see us, supported and looked after us, who drove us, fed us, watered us and provided great memories for a long time to come.

A special thanks goes out to our East Coast Manager Declan O Neill whom without his patience, superb organisational skills, help and support, this year would not have happened. Thank you again big lad.
