We will interview Tony Nominated, Black 47 Founder Larry Kirwan and Chris Byrne owner of Rocky Sullivan's - literary Lounge of Lexington Ave - and Black 47 Founder to talk about their friend Shane McGowan. We will also have on Kevin McCarthy, Drum Major of the NYPD Emerald Pipe band to talk about how the band ended up in "The Fairy Tale of New York" video that was just featured in the New York Times.I'll also talk about trying to get Shane involved with the Derry election campaign of Peggy O'Hara, mother of 1981 Hunger Striker Pasty O'Hara. Of course it all ended in madness. The picture is from front of the British Consulate in Manhattan with now Donegal Councillor Michael McMahon,  former Congressman Peter King, Micheal Flannery,founder of Irish Northern Aid and myself.
