   Almost correct.  It was Tich Richardson, the guitar player from the
Boys of the Lough, who was killed.  Phil Cunningham, who was driving,
injured his hand, but was otherwise not badly hurt and was released
from the hospital after a few days.  It's not clear how much permanent
injury he will have.

   I haven't heard what the immediate plans for the Boys of the Lough are.
