Another St. Patrick’s Day is here and once again across the world, everything goes Irish for our Special Day each year!!!

I will be here in my home town of Dublin celebrating everything that’s good about being an Irishman.  Our city is buzzing with festive cheer and decked out in all its grandeur to welcome visitors from all over the globe.  There are many great events planned in Ireland this week and many of my songs will get a joyous airing as the nation “drowns the Shamrock!”…  so to speak!!!

So I wish everyone a Happy St. Pats Day!!!… and don’t forget to sing a Pete St John song at all your events and parties…  ‘The Rare Ould Times’ is a good one!!!

Dia ghuit a gonai… agus beo fada…  Pete.

My good friend and webmaster Ger Monks, is almost ready to launch the Pete St John Webstore on the net.  I am really up for the start of this adventure as it will allow me to bring a whole range of new items and elements of my work to world notice.  What do I mean?  Well there are many song and stories in my repertoire that have not yet seen the light of day… and this is my opportunity to correct that situation.  There are special compositions dealing with events of historical and current day interest that have happened in my life time which I have written about.  The canvas is large and comes not only in song but also in verse, prose, books, graphic art and music.  Some idea of the subject matter? OK!… Here we go…

• Tara
• Rwanda
• Dublin Traffic ‘08
• Nashville Times
• New York 911
• The Birmingham 6
• Remembering the Old Characters of Dublin circa ’40’s
• The Holy Hour
• The Omagh Tragedy
• The Liffey Ferry
• And a hundred more to tell you about!!!

Like I always say…  Songs are like magic carpets!…  come along for the ride!
