...There's still hope

Remember, you don't have to be Irish to take part.

The project is about the connections between E Street and Ireland.

And about stories and thoughts about the Irish concerts - which each seem to be special in their own way.

The Daily News asks us for the dope

It's less than a month since we started our quest.

But our highway’s already jammed - not with broken heroes, but with the great and the good of the Springsteen community.

We’ve had messages from Ireland, every country of the UK, from across Europe and from the United States.

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far.

The stories are moving, exhilarating, funny, inspiring – and each will bring back many special memories, we’re sure.

This morning, we had a story from our youngest Bruce fan so far. She was six when she went to her first concert and ended up on the Live In Dublin DVD.

We are going to be working hard on this over the next few months and look forward to hearing from you all.

:: We’re posting some of the most recent press coverage for ‘Springsteen In Ireland’ project. Thanks to everyone who has helped us so far, especially Andrew Quinn, of the Sunday Journal.

RADIO EVERYWHERE...

...Well, not quite, but the kind people at BBC Northern Ireland invited us onto the radio tonight to talk about "Springsteen In Ireland".
We were interviewed by Marie-Louise Muir on Radio Ulster's Arts Extra.
Best of all we were introduced with a blast of 'Badlands'.... Fantastic!

THE HIGHWAY IS ALIVE

What a week!

Seven days ago we launched our appeal for stories and pictures of Bruce in Ireland.

The idea is to produce a book charting the links between E Street and Ireland, and telling the stories of Bruce's Irish concerts and his visits to the Emerald Isle.

The book will also include fans' stories.

We've received dozens so far and some fantastic pictures, especially from the good people of the Greasy Lake community.

We are also grateful to Maureen Coleman, of the Belfast Telegraph, for this fantastic article. Expect more soon.
