Hi George.

Tir na nOg IS a chain... but a small one now. The only three that I actually know of are in New York and Philadelphia (same owner) and a hole-in-the-wall in Trenton, NJ.

Finnigan's Wake is owned by a guy that has one in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Both locations are WELL KNOWN for being party havens. GREAT to play at!

As for the West Coast swing... if there were enough time to schedule it around all that we have here, I'm sure it would happen. It takes a load of money to do swings like that, and we're in the middle of "up-grading" equipment. You would be AMAZED at how many requests we get... The Canary Islands, Europe, and just today Japan.
