The one, the only, Andy\u2008Cooney<\/figcaption><\/figure>One man never seems to amaze me as he must be one of the best Irish performers at this side of the Atlantic and that man is Andy Cooney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Andy and his band will be doing a special Mother\u2019s Day weekend event running from May 10th to the 12th at the Sunny Hill Resort<\/strong> (352 Sunny Hill Road, Greenville, New York; (518) 634-7642).<\/p>\n

The weekend package is only $298 and that includes an early check in on Friday May 10th, a cocktail party on Friday evening beginning at 5pm with complimentary drinks and hosted by Andy himself, golf, five meals including Mother\u2019s Day Brunch. Now where else would you get a deal like that. <\/p>\n

I do have a bit of sad news to report as a friend of mine Dave Cremin<\/strong> and his brothers have headed back to Cork City because their Mom just passed away after a short illness in Cork, RIP.<\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of meet Mrs. Cremin when she visited New York on a few occasions and what a great fun lady she was too. We all will miss her so much.<\/p>\n

If you have not gone to see the movie Maze<\/strong> yet go and see it and you will understand what they had to go though in the H block in Northern Ireland not too long ago.<\/p>\n

It was one of the greatest tragedies that had ever happened during the troubles in the 70s.<\/p>\n

Up Tipp and I do mean the County Tipperary P. & B. Association of New York, Inc.<\/strong> who will be holding their 145th Annual Saint Patrick\u2019s Day Banquet<\/strong> on Saturday April 13th (and if I did not give them a plug Therese Crowe<\/strong> would be on my case, so here we go). <\/p>\n

The banquet will be held at The Riverview<\/strong> (1 Warburton Avenue Hastings-on-Hudson, New\u2008York) with the cocktail hour beginning at 7 pm followed by dinner and dancing from 8pm to midnight.<\/p>\n

Their Guest of Honor is Michael Ryan<\/strong> from Upperchurch\/Drombane, Co. Tipperary and music will be provided by the Kitty Kelly Band<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

I know this is going to be a great night so do try and attend.<\/p>\n

Here is a really worthwhile event for you all to attend as it is for a worthy cause. Join the fight against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy<\/strong> and help Archie<\/strong> (12-years-old) and his twin brothers George<\/strong> and Isaac<\/strong> (8-years-old) survive the disease by attending a fundraiser that will be held this Saturday, March 30th, starting at 3pm at the Elks Lodge<\/strong> (82-20 Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst).<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll have face painting, arts and crafts, schools of Irish dance, hot food, live music till Late, a jiving competition,a Chinese Auction, raffles and door prizes.<\/p>\n

Did you miss Celtic Woman<\/strong>, who were here last weekend? Well you missed a great show because they were just fabulous; as we would say in Ireland they were showstoppers. <\/p>\n

Finally, I have been telling you for the last few weeks to book early for the O\u2019Casey trilogy of plays at the Irish\u2008Rep<\/strong>. Well here\u2019s your last chance as they are not to be missed. Visit www.irishrep.org<\/a> to book your tickets now<\/p>\n

I hope to see you all again next week when I am Out&About again. <\/p>\n
