On Friday night last I walked in to the 1890s, in the shape of Brian Duggan's amazing Wyoming Barn in the Visual Arts Centre in Carlow. What an experience, to hear David Mansfield playing Fiddle on the Heaven's Gate Waltz, with a Barn-Full of people in period dress, roller-skating around, re-creating the scene from the Movie, Heaven's Gate ! This is the venue for the next Niall Toner Band gig, and that's on Wednesday night, June 13, at 8.30pm. Advance ticket sales are very solid, and we are looking forward to playing for what Dick Gladney describes as 'the home crowd'. There are still some seats left, so don't leave it too late to book ! I had the good fortune to sing a couple of my songs on the Sue Nunn Show on KCLR last week, and the afforementioned David Mansfield jumped in on Fiddle, and did a great job on songs he had never heard before. Thanks David, and hope to see you in the US later this year. No photo of that occasion, just yet, but I will post one as soon as it comes to hand. Looking forward to playing the 1890s Barn on Wednesday. Best, Niall.
