Crazy question and request for assistance: My name is Brian De Vale. I am a New York City Public School Principal and a traditional singer/songwriter ( I am a regular on Ceol na nGael and WRHU Irish music programs :New York's Damn Bravest, Limerick, Nil Aon Tinteann Mar Do Thinteann Fein are a few of my songs). I am going on my Brian De Vale Annual 32 County New York City Pub Crawl between Feb 17-23. Each pub I hit represents a county in Ireland based on the owner/bar staff/ patrons' home counties.. Odd as it may seem I am having a very hard time this year finding establishments owned and or operated by folks from the following counties: Antrim Carlow Derry Kildare Louth Limerick Offaly Sligo Trone Wicklow Wexford As I imagine you are on the Irish pub circuit more than most, or have contacts with them, any help you can give me in accomplishing this mission during this annual right of St. Patrick's Month preparation would be most welcome. The goal of the Brian De Vale 32 County NYC Pub Crawl is to hit a pub from each county, enjoy a pint of Guinness with someone from that county and finally to sing a song from or about that county with the folks at the bar. I will ahve my guitar and on certain evenings the great Luke Powers will be in tow with his uileann pipes. (Beidhmid ag deanamh ceol tradisiunta agus ag caint as gaelge freisin le cunamh De!) As we proceed from pub to pub we will hand out information about a group in Ireland called Build -4- Life. This charity is working to build a unit in Cork Hospital for victims of Cystic Fibrosis. At this time people from the west of Ireland have to make the long journey to Dublin for treatment and care. My cousin Joe Browne of Castleisland, Co. Kerry has a son Padraig who is afflicted with this condition and is very involved in building two houses that will be auctioned off to the highest bidder with the hope of raising enough money to fund this new CF unit at Cork Hospital. Any help you can give us is most welcome. Should you be able to provide us with the information requested- thank you. Should you be able to give some publicity to this cause-thank you. Should you wish to make a donation -please make payment payable to: Build-4-Life (you can write " Padraig Browne " in the memo) and mail to: c/o Joseph Browne Tralee Road Castleisland, Co Kerry Ireland Please feel free to share this request for assistance with your readers, fans and admirers. Mile go raibh maith agaibh, La Feile na Phadraig agaibh- Le meas- Brian De Vale
