Dublin City Soul Festival 22-25 May 2008

This week, I received 2 messages about the above festival - the first from organiser Chris Maher:

I hope you are all keeping happy & healthy and that life is treating you kindly!

Just wanted to take the time to drop you all a little note to let you know that SOUL is alove and well in Dublin Ireland with the launch of the 2nd annual Dublin City Soul Festival just 3 weeks away now.

This is my labour of love and I'm delighted to say that again this year we wil be joined by the wonderful and most amazing Rance Allen Group along with Queen of Beale Street Ruby Wilson among others.

There are lots of great events lined up for this year including an Irish Premier screening of "Respect Yourself - The Stax Records Story" which is FREE to attend if any of you are in the area! ;) Actually someone told me this will be a European Premier...but I'm not so sure the film has not already been screened somewhere in Europe...I'm sure one of you will let me know!?

Well if you want to know more you can check out our new site....www.dublincitysoulfestival.ie (still need to polish it up but I hope you like what you see so far!)

Peace & Soul for everyone!

Chris.

The second message was from Cecillia Wallace, Rance Allen's Secretary:

This is just a note advising all that The Rance Allen Group will be playing the Dublin City Soul Festival in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday, May 24. We played there last year (our first international trip) and had a blast and, by popular demand we are going back. If you haven't experienced the Rance Allen Group live you don't want to miss it!

Don't miss it because The Rance Allen Group are tremendous. Check out these videos:
