Great gig in Crawdaddy last night ;D. It was great to hear the new gems fit nicely into the set alongside the old classics. Philip could you please post the lyrics of the song you played after 'Under Cleary's Clock', I think it was called 'Huguenot'. In this song I think we have a new Radiators/Chevron classic of such a standard that it will sit alongside 'Faithful Departed' as one of the most important pieces of Irish music in a generation. It is great to see this band still produce the goods thirty years on. Keep up the good work and keep us smiling.

I couldn't make this but my brother Martin did. He was impressed , admiring the way the Rads kept to a well rehearsed set.
He's my twin , by the way , so apologies if it seemed that ' I ' blanked anyone that I may have met at the Porterhouse gatherings.

I was away, but you know one thing in advance - The Rads always deliver! Anyone at the Limerick show?

Womble HUGUENOT Philip Chevron July 2005 Dublin and Westmeath ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome here, you dark-skinned stranger and share these streets with me - Leave behind the shadow of danger Telling you that you ain't free. That's fighting talk where I come from Where ev'ry tyrant was defied And ev'ry Coombe will have its Pride. I can weave a coat I can wind your clock I can mend your boots I can print your books I can write your songs I can make you well I can weave your dreams Bienvenue, bientot I am a Huguenot. It is as old as history, This flight from poverty and hate, And heaven help the refugee Who's cast out from his Mother state. But when the Cardinal's bonfires raged and turned our village to an earthly hell We were called here by the Christchurch bell. I can weave a coat I can wind your clock I can mend your boots I can print your books I can write your songs I can make you well I can weave your dreams Bienvenue, bientot I am a Huguenot. Ancient city on cobblestones Songs and stories of worldly fame From Weaver's Square to Mount Jerome And skipping rhymes from Golden Lane. But now these streets have new tales to tell from George's Dock to Temple Bar Stand up and tell them who you are: I can weave a coat I can wind your clock I can mend your boots I can print your books I can write your songs I can make you well I can weave your dreams The name's La Grue, you know I am a Huguenot. I can weave a coat I can wind your clock I can mend your boots I can print your books I can write your songs I can make you well I can weave your dreams Bienvenue, bientot I am a Huguenot. |

We played all the usual stuff and added some new songs, "Huguenot", "Heaven" and "New City" as well as "Hinterland" and "She Says I'm A Loser". |

hi all
a great gig with GREAT new songs but lacked a decent audience. where was everyone? having been to nearly all the reunion gigs i reckon about 80% of crawdaddy (good venue) were at their first rads gig. they should be back for next shows.
why the small turnout? was it the venue or the date or did you not know about it? let us know

I could'nt make it because the fcking babysitter never showed. So apologies, dear Radiators, and I'll be there the next time even if the bloody kids burn down the bloody house.
