Introduction
"Back in New York, I walked into Paddy Reilly's, a
dilapidated saloon. Chris Byrne was playing uilleann pipes with a local folk
group, Beyond the Pale. I sat in for a few numbers and afterwards we got to
talking about the lack of content in contemporary music. He told me he was a
cop and loved The Clash and rap music. I have no idea what I said to him, but
six hours and some gallons later, we formed Black 47.... We didn't use SET
LISTS, we bopped till we dropped and gave 110% each and every night. The low
and the mighty rubbed shoulders. It wasn't unusual to see Joe Strummer, Neil
Young, Liam Neesan, Brooke Shields or Matt Dillon lift glasses with
revolutionaries, cops, barmaids, politicians, gay activists, bookies and a
dizzying kaleidoscope of New Yorkers."
