Ok, so maybe I'm way too not-blase, or maybe I'm the only American reader on the board (? !) but I, for one, was happy to read that Marky will be making a trip over and doing at least some east coast shows. West coast would be even better, but the gigs which have been announced are a start. I know this is probably old hat for those Czech or Irish fans who have seen him lately several times, but we don't get Marky in person often enough (my humble opinion). Posted them under the topic below, but no joyous shouts yet, so maybe everyone's fast asleep, soooo again: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like some US dates are lining up. From Pollstar:
Sat 09/20/08 Brooklyn, NY Powerhouse Arena
Sun 09/21/08 Cambridge, MA Passim Folk Music & Cultural Center
