Good Morning Gloucester 
Does anyone know who was playing with the Mike O’Connell band New Years Eve? I was there and the “guest” lead guitarist was great and very entertaining. I would love to see him again, but I don’t know who he was because I originally thought he was part of the Mike O’Connell Band.
Any help would be greatly appreciated…..

Mike,
I was there (New Years Eve) as well and we met at the bar.
He was also playing in Beehive in Boston, Fremont Street last Sunday night, but I am not sure if he often plays at the house.
Indeed – he is an outstanding musician.
Good Luck,
Cristina
