Joe Dolan on Saturday

The Irish Festival begins, with top Irish turn, Joe Dolan this Saturday. 

He is known mainly for his flamboyant shows which include many well know standards and for his high pitched singing voice, without using falsetto, which is reminiscent of Greek singer Demis Roussos.

Whilst Joe never achieved notable chart success in America, he regularly toured the States and played a residency in Vegas.  In Ireland he is the only Irish singer to have charted in the top ten in each decade from the 1960s onwards.

Joe Dolan died in 2007, but his talents live on and whilst you may not be familiar with the singer you will certainly know the songs and enjoy Joe's rendition.

On Saturday we invite you to enjoy this remarkable entertainer at Party in The Park.

Party starts at 1pm SL (8pm  UK) and the show is an hour later at 2pm SL.

How's your head?

It was the climax of the St. Patrick's day weekend last night in London City.  The crusty Dubliners put on a wonderful show, which always sound so much better when you are inebriated.

Parties continue today at 12pm SL at Substation, then straight over to Worlds End on the beach from 2pm SL as they celebrate the coming of the summer..

Irish Festival for St. Patrick

Running through March is all things Irish.

We hope you enjoyed the Joe Dolan show last night.  Next week another Irish turn in the form of The Nolans.   Saturday at 12pm SL time in London City.

Willie Nelson on Saturday

Everyone loves a bit of Willie.  He has always been popular as part of the Highwayman concerts, but this weekend, he's out on his own appearing in London City and he will be off his face.

Songs written and performed by Willie Nelson include, On the Road Again, Always on my Mind, Crazy, City of New Orleans and Pancho and Lefty.

Come and yeehaw with the great man himself!

The Party starts at 12pm SL (8pm UK) and Willie takes to the stage at 1pm SL.

The Weekend in Video Review

On Saturday, Joe Dolan was the finale to two weeks of  London City's Irish Festival, centered around St. Patrick's Day.

It is a short working week next week, and just four days to go until the Easter Holidays, which start on Thursday Evening here in London City.. so if you have an Easter Bonnet somewhere in your inventory, now would be a good time to locate it!

Enjoy the video,  as usual, its in Hi-Def so fiddle with the little cog to select the correct playback quality for your connection.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Have a happy Saint Patrick's Day and celebrate the event with some great shows here today at JUICED, The Worlds End and The Crown.   Parties throughout the day, check group notices for details.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Wishing all out patrons a fantastic St. Patrick's Day wherever you are in the world!

The ubiquitous London in Second Life,  London City,  hosted a lot of parties this weekend all themed around Irish culture and it was great to see so many of you getting in character for the events.

Don't forget that the Partying continues all day at Mickey Finn's Pub and this evening at The Crown Pub for those of you who want to carry on drinking.  You know who you are!

Here's the video of what you got up to this weekend.  Enjoy!
