    It's been one hell of a tour, the crowds just seem to get bigger and more enthusiastic! It was wonderful to share some of it all with you in Cork and Dublin, and to once again be there to see you presented with your platinum discs! I got to see Darren at a piano again too, that was a treat, Darren and a black piano is where it all began, so long ago now. Have fun in Athlone and Rossmore, then I hope you all get to enjoy a well deserved break.

    Take care. Caz x

    PS What a wonderful event to part of in the RDS in Dublin at the weekend. It was lovely to share some of it, you're just over 6 minutes in

    Hi guys,


    I didn't get to see THK live on Ireland AM, but I did see THK on Ireland AM from the video posted on YouTube.  The interview was great and I really enjoyed seeing you all perform "Star of the County Down".  I'll be thinking of you all with the rest of your gigs this week and throughout your shows in Nov. and Dec.  I know that THK will continue to "Folk n' Roll" on the Irish tour!!
