Here is a picture that was taken at the Auditorium in Thunder Bay Ontario on the last night of the Tour. (you can see more pictures in the Images Section) It was an amzing trip and a real privelidge to perform with The Legendary Band the Irish Rovers . I have been listening to these guys for the lst 40 odd years and it was such a thrill to actually play with them. They are master musicians, and pros, each night was exciting and full of fun. The two original Members George Millar and Wilcil McDowell are a true testiment to the wonders of Traditional Irish music,and consumate musicians. Ian Millar has great timing and is a very cool base and guitar player. John Reynolds apart from being one of the funniest guys I've ever met, is an awesome guitarists, he played some amazing solos...and some pretty mean base as well. What can one say about Sean O'Driscoll, the multi talemted multi musician, plays bazookie, mandolin, banjo and tin whistel, world class.
We played a sold out tour and signed "zillions" of autographs, I think the thing that impressed me most apart from the music and the Irish Rovers them selves was the age range of those attending the shows, from young to old and all inbetween, the Legend grows, the warmth and genuine love of the fans for the band and its music truely amazed me.
