Jamison Celtic Rock
Expect the Unexpected!
by Krista Doran
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches
many of us will want to enjoy the
high spirited or teary ballads that
only traditional Irish music offers. If
you are like me however, after 5 or
6 songs, you are ready to move onto
something else. After all, variety is the
spice of life! There is an Irish band
from the Philly area that has taken
that into consideration and decided
to mix Rock, Reggae, Pop and other
styles with Irish tradition – and that
band is Jamison.
When it comes to Irish music in this
town, we all know that Jamison is one
of the most beloved bands that come
to mind. Apparently, this is not just a
local love affair. Jamison entered an
online Battle of the Bands contest,
sponsored by the Strangford Lough
Beer Company and won the title of
Best Irish Band as voted by people
all over the world. I spoke to Lead
Vocalist and Guitar player, Frank Daly
who explained “this was an international competition. Irish bands from
all over the world sent in videos that
were narrowed down to the best
30 and were then posted online for
people to vote on”. Jamison came
through on top and to celebrate, they
to perform at McFadden’s in the Rio
Hotel! Congrats to the band from
The OOT and all its readers – this
truly is a great accomplishment!
Great accomplishments are not
new to Jamison, though. They have
appeared on Fox Good Day Philadelphia’s promotion of the 2005 Penn’s
Landing Irish Festival, they were also
the Headline band for the Phoenix-
ville Concert Series,
The Philadelphia
Saint Patrick’s Day
Parade, Cape May
County’s Irish Fall
Festival (Wildwood
NJ), the Delmarva
Saint Patrick’s Day
Celebration, and
Philadelphia’s Running of the Santa’s,
just to name a few.
Jamison has had
songs featured on
Midwest Radio in
Ireland and they
were awarded “Best
Band” in 2009 by the
Mt Holly St. Patrick’s
Day Parade Committee. More locally,
playing venues including The Electric
Factory, Citizens Bank Park, and many
festivals. Some of the smaller, more
intimate venues you can see them
play are Kildare’s, Brittingham’s, Paddy
Whacks, and Finnigan’s Wake.
Jamison is a group of guys who
wanted to perform Irish music with
a twist. As Frank told me, “there are
lots of Irish bands doing cover music,
but not many Rock bands who do
Irish music.” They perform a high energy show that mixes various types of
song styles yet they never stray from
their Irish roots. When you go to see
Jamison, be prepared to dance from
"#
of our shows!”
The members of Jamison are Frank
Daly - Guitar, Mandolin, Tin Whistle
and Lead Vocals; John O’Callaghan –
Guitar, Tin Whistle, Banjo and Lead
Vocals; Sean Callaghan – Drums and
Percussion; Dave Lynd - Bass Guitar,
Moog Pedals and Backup Vocals and
C.J. Mills – Fiddle, Mandolin and
$#
the band and view their schedule by
visiting their website at www.jamisoncelticrock.com. On St. Patrick’s Day,
Jamison will be appearing at Brittingham’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in
Whitemarsh, PA during the day and
then they will be at Kildare’s in West
Chester from 9 pm – 1 am.
can be appreciated all year long, not
just this time of the year. If you are
looking for a night of dancing to high
energy cover songs with a mash-up of
Irish and other styles, go check them

‘You Think You Know
About The Blarney Stone’
tery. Each year Ireland
by John J. Ruppert
With Saint Patrick’s Day
upon us talk always turns
to the folklore behind The
Blarney Stone. There has been
as many stories behind it’s
origin as there has been in it’s
meaning. One thing is certain,
The Blarney Stone is one of
the world’s most celebrated
tourists attractions welcoming millions of visitors and
their puckered up lips.
One of the more popular
legends tells of rewarding
each kisser with the gift of
@
Q-
bares witness to all
those who have come
in search of such rewards or other powers
The Blarney Stone may
have to offer.
The Blarney Stone is
located in the village
of Blarney in Ireland. It
is a block of bluestone
that’s been built right
into the battlements
of Blarney Castle. To
kiss the stone one
must sit with their
back towards the stone
while someone
else holds your
Q#
must lean far
backward and
downward into
the abyss while
grabbing the
iron rails, you
lower yourself
until your head
is even with the
stone enough to
kiss it.
So the next
time someone
asks you if you
know about The
Blarney Stone
you can say
yes... but do you
really know?
The only way to
to the village of
Blarney and see
it for yourself
face to face
or in this case
Stone to Lips.

drinking occasion, a true and
authentic Irish experience awaits
you at Kildare’s.
It all started back in 2003 with
the Kildare’s West Chester location.
Proprietor, Dr. Dave Magrogan had
the idea to create an atmosphere
for his patrons that would let them
experience a real Irish Pub. That
idea has turned into an extremely
successful reality, now with 7 locations in the US!
All of Kildare’s Pubs have incredible architectural interiors and
state-of-the-art bar & beer systems.
I spoke with Director of marketing,
Frank Daly who explained “we take
a great deal of care into giving our
customers a true Irish experience.
Everything you see from the chairs,
tables and bars to the art on the
walls is shipped right from Ireland.
We have a huge warehouse of all
sorts of items that each owner can
and neighbors for cheerful hours of
drinking, storytelling, conversations
and music. Finally, the “Brew Pub” is
homage to the Guinness Brewery.
Kildare’s certainly offers great
options for drinking but it’s the
food that is the main attraction.
Kildare’s dishes are distinctly and
authentically Irish while keeping
American preferences in mind. The
food is prepared fresh – nothing
frozen. Kildare’s chefs have been
training with the best in Ireland
and now they are excited to be
able to offer the freshest authentic
Irish cuisines at all locations. A few
of the staple appetizers are the
BFG wings that are baked, fried &
grilled with a tangy Jameson glaze
and served with Bleu Cheese,
celery and carrots. The Irish Craic
Nachos (Craic is Irish for “Fun”)
are actually house-made Potato
chips topped with melted cheese,
guacamole, salsa and sour cream
and have the option to be served
with pulled pork, chicken or
seasoned beef. Another Kildare’s
favorite are the Boxtys - a traditional dish, common in the Irish
they are more than just places to
drink – they are social experiences. countryside, made from a potato
As you walk through the entrance pancake that is rolled and stuffed
Q
of Kildare’s you will experience
Ireland’s “Shop Pubs”, which can
be found in somewhat rural areas
of Ireland. This is where a lad or
lass can purchase various items
such as medicine, stamps and every
day essentials in addition to a nice,
refreshing pint of beer. As you pass
through the Shop Pub, you will then
enter the “Victorian Pub”, which is
more of an upscale-type of pub that
would be found in the capital city
of Dublin where literary scholars
would take refuge. The “Gaelic” is
a tribute to Old World Pagan Ireland, with hand-hewn wooden log
chairs and beautiful Celtic murals.
The Pub, which in Ireland will be
found in more remote areas, is an
extension of the home. At Kildare’s,
this area is represented by the
“Cottage” dining room, where the
owner of the home or “publican”
would open his doors to friends
choose from while planning the
décor with the architects.” But it
doesn’t stop there. When they say
Kildare’s offers a true Irish experience, they mean it. In Ireland, there
are actually 5 types of pubs and

The Diamond Dogs
by Alexa Raquel
I went to McStew’s on Saturday
Night to see a band called “The Diamond Dogs.” First let me start out
by saying WOW! These guys were
amazing. The musicianship was excellent and the stage show was fantastic.
These guys were hands down one
of the best tribute bands I’ve ever
witnessed. On top of being great musicians, they had
amazing vocals
and harmonies. The band
consists of Mr.
George Rumbol
as Bowie, Rod
Margolis on guitar, Marc Evans
on bass, Jack Kelly on keys, and Chris
Nerone on drums. I saw George perform a few months ago at the TLA
with his band the Dead End Kids,
which is another legendary band, so I
kind of knew this band would be top
notch as well. I wasn’t disappointed.
The show was authentic and everyone was really blown away. I couldn’t
get over how awesome George was
in particular. He
really did an amazing job. I think
even Bowie himself
would have been
impressed. I would
mend seeing this
band!

I’ll give $500 bucks to anybody in here who can drink
10 pints of Guinness back to

The room is quiet and no
one takes Chaos’s offer.
Suddenly, Pete McD gets up
and leaves the bar. Thirty
minutes later, he shows back
up and taps the Chaos on

Father Steve, and Rabbi

a conversation by saying

Rabbi said, “I must tell the
