Message From Des & Sue on The Family Reunion

Many thanks to all of you who came to the 4th Murphy Reunion Saturday 23 May 2009. It was a great night. Thank you all for your kind comments; they are very much appreciated. Eamon and John Murphy led a song session in the big space afterwards; it went long into the night. Sue and I rounded off the weekend on Monday night at a George Thorogood and the Destroyers concert at the Phil courtesy of Moira Hall (Hegarty): Grade A US rock and roll. Check out Bad to the Bone and Who do you love? on youtube. Just before he came on they played ‘Eve of Destruction’ by Barry McGuire. We had been singing this at Cormac’s instigation on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Thanks to Cathy Hegarty for the hospitality and the party at her house on Sunday. Lots of people came throughout the afternoon and evening and had a great time.

Thanks to John Daly for providing the champagne toast. I have been working on him to be a Liverpool fan and he tried out the joke (fact, actually) about the two football teams on Merseyside on Paul McKay with predictable results but you bluenoses will be delighted to hear that John Brennan gave him an Everton Cup Final scarf yesterday when Maureen and John took John and Becky to Speke Hall.

Best Wishes, Des & Sue.
