Black 47 Playing 19th Annual Winter Residency at Connolly’s of Times Square

From UFO Music.....

This holiday season Black 47 will play its 19th annual New York Saturday night residency at Connolly's KLUB 45 in Times Square. Over four Saturdays, plus a performance on New Year's Eve, the band will perform at 10:30pm (9pm doors) on November 15, 22 and December 6, 13, 31 for the recession special of $10. While reprising old favorites like Funky Ceili and James Connolly, the band uses its nights at Connolly's to introduce new songs to the hometown crowd before recording them; included this year will be the riotous Long Lost Tapes of Hendrix and Rosemary, a tribute to slain Civil Rights lawyer, Rosemary Nelson. This year's residency will also be sure to feature songs from the band's critically acclaimed 2008 album, Iraq, which presents a dry-eyed view of life in wartime.
