A great night for Blackwater farewell
With the imminent departure of Shane O'Connor to Oz, yet another benchmark Kilcullen band is decommissioning, this time after nine years together. But no doubt all the members will still be rocking it out in lots of other places for a long time to come.
Pretty well every local band took part in a hectic mix-and-match jam session through the evening, including representation from Fenton Blue, Badge, Martin Cummins and ZZ Murphy, and Alan McNamara playing his own particular style of guitar.
All the sound was managed by Stephen O'Connor from his trusty iPad, in between belting things out on his own Legacy axe. The music worked its way through solid ACDC rock and blues to, lord save us, even Mama Mia. All with the participation and laid back encouragement of the guitar godfather, Ger Wall.
A great night. Here are more pics.
