Hey Guys,
I arrived in Ireland Monday morning. As soon as
I sat down in my parents house (in Kerry) I
opened up Sunday Tribune . On page three there
was a picture of you both in Washington. It was
part of an article about legalizing the Irish in
America. If you would like a copy, I can drop it
in the mail for you. Just let me know.
Take care, Tom

Washington was AMAZING...you guys were
AMAZING and we just wanted to "live our lives"
and that is the main reason why I feel so
strongly for the ILIR because young Irish here
today deserve the opportunity more than ANYONE
else to build a life here as well as a family
and have the freedom to travel back and forth as
they please. Together we will make a
difference....we already have somewhat, why stop
now?

Hundreds packed into the Heritage last night
for an evening of laughter in support of a very
serious cause. The raucous and happy mood was
set by the comedic and musical genius of the
Cray and Dempsey Experience...

"Thanks for getting me out of bed last Friday
night. I was fast asleep when Pete Dogg & the German
called asking if I wanted to see the Irish guys who sing
Snoop Dogg @ Tigin. Without thinking about it, I was in.
As expected, you guys put on another GREAT performance.
Looking forward to future performances and saying YO
BITCH about 50 times!"(Fan e-mail 12-6-2005)
"Saw you "gentlemen" at the Field in CT last
weekend. Great time! Nice job, way to make fun of my
date (went over swimmingly I might add!) and way to make
a standard night out at the pub into a much more
memorable experience! Get back up here to Fairfield and
Norwalk ASAP!(Fan e-mail 11-21-2005)
"Hi guys, thoroughly enjoyed friday night's show, had a
great time once again. Tigins just isn't the same when
its not the first friday in the month!
Looking forward to next time" Adam (from

"The entertainment on Saturday will come from
bagpipers and Irish step dancers, followed by the
Cray & Dempsey Experience, a duo that, according to
Mahoney's co-owner Emmett Woods, has taken
"traditional Irish music and modernized it."

"Hey lads, Whats the
craic? Last Sunday at Sean Ogs was one of the
best laughs Ive had since I got here to America!
The show was brilliant. The only problem I have

Take it easy! See you Saturday in The
Cuckoo's Nest!"
Thanks a million, Eoin R.

"OK - so you gotta come back to Syracuse. (That is where I
really live). Just let me know when - and I will half fill the
joint up. I spent the other night at a party telling everyone
about you guys till they were sick of hearin it. Had em so
pumped we would have done a 4 hour road trip to see ya again -
except for the place would have been closed by the time we got
there. (I know thats not a very good excuse - but its the best
I got - If I had your hotel number I coulda called and you guys
could have done an impromptu personal show for us at your
temp crib!) You have the perfect moniker
(Entertainment at its Supreme Best).
Play that song bitches!

40th when I'm already 41?"

"Hey guys! I heard you on WPDH this
morning and thought you were fantastic! I hope you plan to play
the other side of the river soon. Some where like Kingston, New
Paltz, Woodstock? We have a love for all things Irish here!
Keep up the good work, you may just get Snoop in the running!
Peace, love, and civil liberties! JS"
A fan e-mail after the WPDH morning Radio Show , 2/25/2005
"Paul M. Cray and Derek A.
Dempsey, both natives of Dublin, Ireland , perform their original
compositions, meticulously executed in their own eclectic style.
Throw into this mix the fact that they are both great musicians and
you have an entertaining show where you never know what's coming
next! Yes, it's only a matter of time until The Cray and Dempsey
Experience becomes a household name."
The Great American Irish Festival
"Rap performed by two Irish guys with a
strong sense of melody and freedom."

"The Cray And Dempsey Experience kept the crowd on its
feet singing and dancing all night long. This twosome act can
keep your undivided attention going for long periods of time.
They are a class act, very lively and entertaining and are well
worth going to see when they play there again."
