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. Matt Fichtenbaum
