There were plenty of Irish drinking songs

St Patrick's day 2005 - A day of infamy in the history os Patte's Sports Bar. when the band Se7en South came to play that night. It was certainly not an Irish potato famine and the Guiness flowed like water. Like the onld Irish joke about "What is the most dangerous man in the world... an Irishman with a 6 pack" a party soon ensued. It started with Irish drinking songs and another pint of Irish Red Ale and the next thing you knew there were people daning on top of the tables in the booths and hopping from one to another. By the end of the night the damages were totalled and Se7en South was banished into the night, told never to return.

But return they did on St Pat's this year only this time the boys had to promise to be on their best behavior. They decided on a few accoustic sets.

Well the Guiness flowed and the crowd limbered up as the band began to play precisely at 8pm.
By 9 the crowd was singing, that Guiness was kicking in.

People were soon dancing in their booths and table hopping began again. Round 2 had just begun.

As the band gained stream the crowd just roared and soon the waitresses where chiming in. It seemed as if St Patty's day from 2005 was revisiting Patte's Sports Bar again.

If you were there we appreciate your spending your evening with us. If you missed us, you missed a great party. And to those who asked - yes, I did find my brain.... It was in a bowl of cold water with bite marks and fur all over it.

notes from the edge

March 4, 2008.
Woke today to a great telephone call from se7en south drummer Nick Prokopchack. Nick is in Bagdad serving our armed forces. We had a few good laughs about his last visit in PA and how we are looking forward to his safe return in several months.  He was diggin' the new album and pleased with Pepper Watkin's drumming abilities.  We used much of the time to talk about upcoming projects and how we should team up when Nick is back state side. (I'm looking forward to that).  In speaking to the others they enclose their love to all and we each ask fans and friends far and near, whisper some good thought over Nick , and hope the only sand he encounters is that from the little guy that helps you close your eyes at night. Good night Nick- keep in touch. and Love to all
