Hello Friends,

 It gives me my greatest pleasure to bring you my 58th New York Irish Hour.  It's been a quiet couple of weeks concerning new recordings so I decided to feature an Irish Musician from NY Billy Keenan.  Billy performed in the NY Irish Music scene from the mid 1980s until his most unfortunate surfing accident in 2013 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.  Billy has written a book about his life and his journey back.  Have a listen to his story and his music...  His story will have you on the edge of your seat.

Hi Friends,

I'm in Ireland at the moment with my Musical Tour Of Ireland.  I did manage to find time to bring you Episode 43 of The New YorK Irish Hour.   I was in Westport County Mayo this trip and I managed to catch up with Matt Malloy from The Chieftains.  This great interview is featured on today's show.   There are new singles out by All Folked Up and Susan & Gerard.  I came across an Album on Spotify called The Transatlantic Sessions.  You're going to love the 2 tracks I picked to play.  A couple of new artists to the NY Irish Hour will feature Hank Wedel and Siobhon McAleese and Seamus Balfe has picked a great track from The Kilkennys.
