The Saw Doctors in America
The Saw Doctors, the Irish band that launched a thousand copycats in the US, god love us, are playing eight dates in America in March.
Kansas City? Missouri? Nope, Chicago is the nearest venue with a gig on March 17 at the Vic Theatre - a quiet Saturday night, I expect.
And as a bizzare example of how liked the Saw Doctors are in the US, on January 17 the newly-elected governor of Maryland, Irish-American Martin O’Malley, is flying his favourite band, Tuam’s finest, to the USA from their West of Ireland home in Galway, just for the inaugural ball.
That’s what you want from elected politicans; them flying bands they like half-way around the world.
List of American dates:
March 8 Alexandria, VA The Birchmere
March 9 Northampton, MA Calvin Theatre
March 10 New York, NY Nokia Theatre
March 13 Lebanon, NH Opera House
March 15 Boston, MA The Roxy
March 16 Cleveland, OH House Of Blues
March 17 Chicago, IL The Vic
March 18 Milwaukee, WI Potawatomi Casino
