CD Received

The Ballads of Archie Thompson by George Murphy and The Black Donnellys (2009)
Genre: Celtic Rock
When did we receive it? Sometime in 2009, I think

First of all, we would like to thank The Black Donnellys management for sending us a copy of The Ballads of Archie Thompson for possible airplay on 'Proud to be Irish'. As I'm sure many of you know who work in the radio business, we received this CD with the full expectation of slowly integrating some cuts into our playlists within a few weeks of receiving it. 

This CD was subsequently misplaced for about two years.:) When it was discovered again this week, I have to say that it was like receiving a totally new CD. We have in fact listened to the CD on 12 November and will slowly be working cuts into our playlists as time allows. Please keep an eye on the newly reinstated playlists for cuts by George Murphy and The Black Donnellys from this CD on future shows. :)
