Black 47 Rocks the Mic. for Green Gov. Candidate Malachy McCourt

"When I first came to New York in the 70's Malachy opened the doors of the Bells of Hell for me and gave me a place to play. All down the years he's supported every progressive cause, and it's a rare picket line I haven't seen him on" -Larry Kirwin, Black 47 

Larry Kirwan, leader of Black 47, the politically charged Irish-American rock group, is organizing the Rock `n' Read benefit for his friend and comrade, Malachy McCourt. The evening will begin at 7pm with short readings from prominent writers and actors mixed with songs and pieces from musicians and poets. Black 47 will finish off the night with a full set, much of which will be devoted to their critically acclaimed album, New York Town - "a tale of the city before and after 9/11."

Now it's time for the city to give back to this remarkable, principled and compassionate man. To that end we're throwing a hooley for him that will feature people like composer & Bells of Hell regular, David Amram, a collaborator with Kerouac and the Beats, all the way forward through TJ English, author of "The Westies", to Black 47 and its many contributors. More writers and musicians are being added daily. We're keeping the contribution down to a handy $20 so that almost anyone can attend. Malachy has always been there for us, now it's our time to step up to the plate for him." Larry Kirwan.
