Seamus Gill + family & friends of Declan Affley, featuring Cornerbrook
7.30PM, 30 minutes earlier than normal, doors open 7.00pm - Saturday 27th June, 2015
Posted Friday, April 17, 2015
Saturday 27th June is the 30th Anniversary of Declan's death, and as his good friend Seamus was already booked, it seemed a excellent idea to gather Declan's family & friends to celebrate the anniversary.
There will be no floorspots as Colleen Burke & friends will be performing & reminiscing.
Seamus Gill
Seamus has a song for all occasions & has been performing in folk clubs and at festivals for more years than he cares to remember. He sings a variety of Irish, English, Scottish, Australian and South American songs, and has even been known to sing Beatles' songs in Irish. He shared a house with Declan Affley in Sydney during the 1970s, sharing his enthusiasm for Australian political songs and sometimes performing with him. He was co-writer with Denis Kevans of Across the Western Suburbs in 1973.
+ support Cornerbrook - fast paced and cranking tunes and songs from Ireland and Newfoundland from Bridie Burke (daughter of Declan Affley and Colleen Burke), Bridie's husband, Cory Clarke from Newfoundland, and Ben Stephenson.
