Kilkenny, All Ireland SH Champions 2009 – Homecoming
On September - 8 - 2009
What a homecoming.
What a welcome home for the Kilkenny hurlers, both minor and senior teams, who have done us proud yet again this year.
Yesterday, the Liam McCarthy Cup came back to Kilkenny for the fourth year in a row as the current Kilkenny hurling generation have surely proved themselves to be the most successful and dominant hurling force ever seen. The four-in-a-row was only seen once before in hurling history and that was a long, long time ago.
Amazing Stuff.
Massive estimated crowds of 30,000 experienced the homecoming yesterday despite heavy rain, spiteful wind and the biting cold. Fantastic entertainment prior to the arrival of the champions were led by rock band UP4IT and by local trad favourites, The Kilkennys, formerly of Uisce Beatha fame. The homecoming was presented by Edwina Grace, of KCLR96FM.
A large amount of respect has to be given to Kilkenny student Alan Hayes, 13, as he closed the event with a powerful version of ‘The Rose Of Mooncoin.’

Sinnerboy, Rory Gallagher tribute band coming to Kilkenny
On May - 19 - 2009
Friday 12th June, Kytelers Inn
From www.sinnerboy.co.uk
Guitarist and singer Barry Barnes is one of Europe’s most active enthusiasts working to keep alive the music and memory of Rory Gallagher. Since 1996 Barry has organized the annual Rory Gallagher tribute gig at Dukinfield Town Hall, near Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire, making this the first, and the longest running Rory Tribute in the world. Currently established as one of the main events on the Rory calendar, and forced to re-locate to Sheffield, it continues to grow and now ‘The Rory Gig’ attracts audiences in excess of four hundred people from throughout the UK and abroad.
The same impetus to celebrate Rory’s genius led Barry to form a tribute band with two like-minded musicians – bassist Dave Burns and, more recently drummer Steve Tansley. Both Dave and Steve are lifelong Rory fans, not just some rhythm section that Barry has cobbled together, and it shows! Together as Sinnerboy and driven by belief, enthusiasm and passion, it’s the bands stated aim to be amongst the best Rory Gallagher tribute acts in the world.
Sinnerboy are ever-presents at all the major Rory festivals throughout the world and were Donal Gallagher’s choice of band for the first London festival at Hammersmith (Donal calls them his favourite ‘boy’ band!)
Playing live is what Sinnerboy do best. Anyone who has seen them will tell you, it’s all about energy and passion, strong songs played with verve. But how else could you approach playing Rory’s music?
Their repertoire numbers over forty songs (and rising), with material from every stage of Rory’s career including his early days with Taste. Bullfrog Blues, Walk On Hot Coals, Tattooed Lady, Shadow Play, Moonchild and many more are the essential ingredients of every Sinnerboy set. For Sinnerboy, keeping the music of Rory Gallagher alive and live for people who love to hear it is all that matters …and don’t look for three guys on stage poncing about in wigs trying to look like three other guys, what you get with this band is all out passionate Rory Gallagher music!
