We were absolutely thrilled to welcome John Byrne and Chris Buchanan to the Immigration Center for lunch today. For those of you who haven’t yet come across the John Byrne Band, you can check out a few clips on our youtube channel and  on John’s website (where you can also buy copies of his new CD). And if that’s not enough, both Brian Mengini and Denise Foley were on hand to take lots and lots of photos!

John and Chris played a mix of original songs and old favourites and had everyone singing along – even Breac – though some people felt that his howls were more of a protest than a sign of appreciation.

The John Byrne Band will be opening for the Young Dubliners at World Cafe Live on September 14, so you’ve another chance to catch him live – and I hope he’ll be back at the Immigration Center again soon.

And don’t forget, we have an open house lunch with musicians, speakers and plenty of chit-chat evert Wednesday – stop in one day and join us!
