First-ever Austin Fleah lineup announced
Legendary Irish band manager Frank Murray (Thin Lizzy, Pogues, Frames) is a part time Austinite who has swiftly organized what he plans to be an annual St. Patrick’s Day Fleah (“festival” in Gaelic) in Austin.
The party, co-sponsored by Guinness and Rare Magazine, takes place March 17 at the former home of the Levi’s Fader Fort on East Fourth St. three blocks from the Convention Center.
“There’s no way, with all the Irish bands in town for South by Southwest, that Austin can’t have the best St. Paddy’s Day party in the country,” says Murray. The fest came together in just a week when the space at 216 E. 4th St. suddenly became available.

Michael, very excited about having arranged for this party, at this great location. Thursday and Friday are available for a good sponsor, still looking, at this late date, for a spot. This is, undoubtedly, one of the prime spots downtown.
