03/28/2002 Entry: "Whelan's 27th March 2002-Ken Stringfellow,Woody Sagoo,Blotooth and Dawn Kenny"

Have to say last nights gig was a stormer with a highly appreciative audience that included Mike Mills from REM!Yet another gig promoted by Martin Egan that was a success in every respect for the musicians. We couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere. Much thanks and respect is due to the Maeman.
I thoroughly enjoyed being on the stage and it was an absolute pleasure playing with Robin who incidentally had to catch a plane to Edinburough this morning at 5:30am! . It was the first outing of one of the new songs "Blossoming" and the feedback I got from everyone was great but if you missed last night you'll just have to come to the next gig and make up your own minds! At the last minute another singer/songwriter Dawn Kenny was drafted in to play and start off the night. I've seen Dawn before in Whelan's playing on the same bill as kila (a previous maeman.com promotion) and last night she was in top form.Daragh and Myles (Blotooth) went down well too and had some cool and unusual chord changes to compliment their distinctive vocals. And of course Ken Stringfellow was fabulous and said it was the most enjoyable gig he had done for a while and I have to agree with him.The gig finished with everyone "snuggling", clapping (unusually in time with the music!) and singing to an old Beach Boys tune - you know the one..God only knows what I'd do without you...,then finally Ken gave us a soulful version of the classic "Moonriver".All in all a superb night. And so,the next gig.....
Love Woody

Where are the dates for Killarney Co. Kerry, I have been promised a gig down this way for a long time?!! The Granary is a venue well worth checking out, ask Martin to take a look at that possibility. Keep up the good work. Kathy
