   About Smokestack Lightning
Smokestack Lightning's modern incarnation began in late 2005 when long-time blues collaborators Kevin Higgins and Sean Plunkett joined Robert "Rock-Solid" Higgins, an able young drummer. After some low-down and skunky jams it became clear that no-one was going to take these blues away, so Scott Kohlman, an open-minded, jazz-trained guitarist, was drafted in on rhythm and lead duties. The band have been getting tighter and groovier ever since. In late 2007, the band changed personnel when guitarist Scott left to focus on honing his impressive jazz skills. Dave Byrne was brought in in his place and with his dynamic and slicing playing, he has found himself right at home. Previous gigs inlude The Mezz, Eamonn Doran's, The Bleu Note, JJ Smyth's, etc. The band have recently recorded a demo, which you can listen to on this myspace. The demo was produced at Red Lab Studios. Check out the band's website: www.smokestacklightningblues.com.

Dear Irish friends and friends of Europe,
I am a citizen of a EU member state. In my country, we have not been allowed to vote on the future of Europe. You, our friends in Ireland, alone have
this right and are called to vote on the "Lisbon Treaty" on June 12th.


I reject this Treaty as undemocratic in conception and in content. Please, vote NO on this Treaty for me as a first step to building a common social,
ecological, democratic and peaceful Europe.


YES to Democracy
NO to Lisbon Treaty

Please: read the new treaty !!

Hello again. That sounds great, i think we'll be taking up that offer, thanks. I'm liking the blues, if only that harmonica had been on the lake, none of us would have been cold.
Playing again soon?
