York, will open his one-man show "You Don't Have to Be Irish To Vote For Me"

just about everyone." The show will be followed by a 75th birthday celebration for Mr. McCourt.
The show tours to Glen Falls on Sept. 23 and New Paltz on Sept. 24.

-- Words by Malachy McCourt
Larry Kirwan, leader of Black 47, the politically charged Irish-American
rock group, is organizing the Rock 'n' Read benefit for his friend and
comrade, Malachy McCourt. The evening will begin at 7pm with short readings
from prominent writers and actors mixed with songs and pieces from musicians
and poets. Black 47 will finish off the night with a full set, much of
which will be devoted to their critically acclaimed album, New York Town -
"a tale of the city before and after 9/11."
"When I first came to New York in the 70's Malachy opened the doors of the
Bells of Hell for me and gave me a place to play. All down the years he's
supported every progressive cause, and it's a rare picket line I haven't
seen him on. Now it's time for the city to give back to this remarkable,
principled and compassionate man. To that end we're throwing a hooley for
him that will feature people like composer & Bells of Hell regular, David
Amram, a collaborator with Kerouac and the Beats, all the way forward through TJ English, author of "The Westies", to Black 47 and its many
contributors. More writers and musicians are being added daily. We're
keeping the contribution down to a handy $20 so that almost anyone can
attend. Malachy has always been there for us, now it's our time to step up
to the plate for him." Larry Kirwan
