Dear friends,

Joe Hurley will host a special concert/film benefit at Joe's Pub tomorrow night, Sunday April 25th at 6:00pm. A very rare performance from iconic composer Galt Macdermot (HAIR, the musical) and his incredible band (featuring Bernard Purdie on drums) will benefit the documentary film, which is near completion, on Galt's extraordinary life. More on this event at here. Also, a limited amount of discounted tickets are now available at www.joespub.com.

View the press release for Hurley hosting Galt MacDermot Concert.

A most profound thank you to all who came to this year's All-Star Irish Rock Revue. The show-goers were fantastic, and those that braved the rainstorms were treated to a simply superb night of wonderful performances from the wildly gifted guest artists!

The audience that danced and sang along joyfully for four hours was brilliant and included members of the Stooges (inducted 48 hours later into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), Robert Gordon, and the great Denis Dunaway of the "vintage" Alice Cooper Band ("School's Out," etc.).

There was also an appearance onstage from the Consul-General of Ireland, Niall Burgess, reading beautiful poetry in Gaelic, and speaking passionately of the "Great Irish Songbook."

The band as ever, led by MD Jon Spurney, was in top-form! A huge round of applause goes out to them for their outstanding playing, to the top Irish Revue production team, and to dapper co-host Ed Rogers!

Thank you all for coming and making it a fantastic evening for all of us!

Lastly, many thanks to all who donated clothing and raised money for the T-Shirts For Haiti Campaign (now at 100,000), in connection with Where-To-Turn.org. We salute Denis Mckeon for his amazing work and dedication to the cause.

Speaking of T-shirts, be sure to pick up an Irish Rock Revue T-shirt, printed by Brendan Burke's

The House That Horse Built (Let The Great World Spin)
"With lyrics penned by Hurley and his pal, 2009 National Book Award winner Colum McCann, he recounts the life of a prostitute, circa 1970s NYC. On the surface, it’s a bleak tale, but the undercurrent of hope throughout is magnificent and reflected in the music." Click here to read more...

UK review of new Hurley/McCann CD
"It's a phenomena. Lyrically compelling, wondrously sung, and superbly produced by Don Fleming."

"Over the years, Joe Hurley, one of the leaders in New York’s Celtic movement, has written a number of standout songs such as “Amsterdam Mistress” and “Shut Up and Drink.” But he’s never before attained the kind of writing level he has on this concise 12-minute EP, presented as a three-song cycle. With lyrics penned by Hurley and his pal, 2009 National Book Award winner Colum McCann, he recounts the life of a prostitute, circa 1970s NYC. On the surface, it’s a bleak tale, but the undercurrent of hope throughout is magnificent and reflected in the music."
