Kim working hard
It was a fantastic night…thanks so much to Cathy Davey (& friends) and everyone else who came along to support Dogs In Distress
kimbo.jpgIt was a fantastic evening. The performers were all superb and really happy to be doing what they were doing for the dogs. Very uplifting!
Yes indeed ladles! I have to say it was an ultra cool event, don’t know how I got in
I don’t know many bands but the one voice that stood out as a blast from the past (well back when music was great i.e. my day
) was Neil Hannon from the Divine Comedy. Do you remember the song the National Express? Well the whole audience did!! And what’s more he had us all (yeah, even the ultra cool dudes) singing (well sort of saying out loudly) the phrase "Dogs in Distress" in place of the real lyrics which were "National Express". He said some nice things about Cathy Davey. He didn’t need to really, we knew already! I didn’t tell you the best bit, hearing "Casey the Wonder Dog". I’ve heard from some properly cool people (well they go to festivals and own iPods) that the Villagers are a band with a name. From hearing the song I’m convinced, and the song even had the lyrics "a dog in distress" in it!
Thanks to all the bands, Champagne Animal are a bubbly addition to any night for the doggies. It was lovely meeting a few of the Dogs in Distress volunteers. Thanks to lovely people who bought raffle tickets without not even being too bothered about winning anything
. I took pics but they are all terrible so if anyone has ones post them here will you?!
Here’s some footage of Cathy talking about DID on the night;

It was all brilliant! I’m keeping my ticket as a souvenir – which says it all
Did everyone see Neil and Cathy on Ireland AM on TV3 on Monday last? They were brilliant and Daisy was gorgeous! When will we be seeing them and hearing One Ear Up again?
Cathy & friends performing One Ear Up One Ear Down on the Tom Dunne Christmas Special Show on Newstalk 106 – 108 fm at around 11am this friday. Big gang of us doing it so we’ll make a good old racket!
Also, shops that had sold out of Oscar will be re stocked over the next 2 days.[url:128dpxf0]http://www.rte.ie/radio1/christmaseve/1030019.html[/url:128dpxf0]

Radio 1 Harry Holler & the Hooligans.jpgThe CD is still on sale and available at all outlets mentioned and also I Tunes for downloading……………..so if you missed out before Christmas it’s all still available for you to help by buying.
Thanks.Here’s some footage from the launch party night at the Workmans Club, Dublin. Conor, the lead singer of the band the Villagers wrote this song about his super dog. Here’s Casey the Wonder Dog. Oscar the Hypno Dog (and other Tails) in on sale and all proceeds go to Dogs in Distress.
Some of the lyrics
“Never got nothing back, never mixed with the pack
Just a dog in distress, skin and bone just a mess
Now you smile when you growl
and you laugh when you howl
In our home by the sea where you take care of me”[url:rakdtayu]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TcOKjtMWmWs[/url:rakdtayu]
Please spread the word that this CD was not just for Christmas.
It is still available for sale in the shops not HMV of course.
