January 28 and 29: a busy weekend for Lisgar O’Connor - Daniel O’Connell’s Pub

Like we said before, Daniel O’Connell’s is like a second home to us. The staff and patrons are always happy to see us and it’s always a pleasure to play to such an appreciative public. However, we also had two very special guests last Friday.

We had the infinite pleasure to jam with James Hill, Canada’s ukulele virtuoso, “one of the world’s top composers for the ukulele and probably the best player on the planet”, according to 600AM’s Rafe Mair in Vancouver. James joined us on “Summertime” and interpreted two more songs for a delighted audience. Check out James’ Website http://www.ukulelejames.com/ and don’t miss his upcoming show at the Petit Chicago, 50 promenade du Portage www.petitchicago.com in Hull, this Saturday, February 5, at 9:00 PM.

Then we were fortunate to have Julie Element from Coventry, England, singing a few of her own compositions and explaining how to recycle former lovers into pints of Guinness! Julie, a regular at many open stages in Ottawa, will be playing at O’Connell’s on Saturday February 26.
Finally, there was that young lady from North Bay who was celebrating her birthday and who decided to come to O’Connell’s with her party after a game of bowling. Somebody requested we sang Happy Birthday, so Bill invited the blushing birthday girl to sit right in front of Sly who sang this immortal song à la Marilyn Monroe.
