An English-born child of Irish immigrants, Paul cut his teeth on Irish music. Accompanying himself on guitar, mandolin and bodhran, Paul will take you on an emotional journey, with the sorrow of injustice in songs from his new cd “Plastic.” In the space of one song, he can take his audience from foot stomping energy to the absolute stillness of choked-back tears. You will not be disappointed. 6.30pm, Friday September 3rd Blue Train is a high energy local 5 piece and the emphasis is 50's and 60's Chicago electric blues, rockabilly and psychedelia. Using vintage tube amps, guitars this band believes in the authentic roadhouse snarl with a little grit thrown into the mix. A hot electric band with a strong dance edge. Be ready to rock. There is a cap of the number of audience allowed on the Tank Deck venue, so be seated prior to 6.30pm to avoid disappointment. Tel: 604-204-0044/604-272-9294.
