Dallas, TX     August 17 & October 7, 2006

The Bilge Pumps played their first show at the Tipperary Inn since before it remodeled back in 2000. We did an experimental Thursday night show to see if we could pull in a fun-loving crowd that knows how to soak up the $3 pints flowing from the taps. Judging by the glazed look in Blue's eyes, it appears we were a success. We had a blast performing to all the local gang as well as enjoying seeing some new faces in the audience. Special thanks go to the far-traveling fans from Wichita Falls, Memphis, and Denmark who call all the way to Dallas and wanted to see us perform.

We also returned to the pub in October to perform a Saturday night for the drunken football fans stumbling in after OU/Texas Saturday. We might have been down to 5 members with the absence of John Crow, but fun did not stop us as we performed at 4 hour show full of the craziness you can only get into at an over-21 bar.



August Show

A full house showed up to watch the Bilge Pumps' first performance at the Tipp in over 6 years. Some drove from as far as Wichita Falls.

With the addition of the AWOL and recently balded Blue in the show, there were 7 Pumps for your viewing pleasure.

Of course, that meant that we had that much less stage space and Phil was forced to stand in front of the speaker.

Sometimes Harvey gets all riled up when preaching to the audience and his inner demon comes shining through.

Only one thing appeases Harvey's demon, a little toque o da ganja, mon.

This is the look Galleon will get on stage when he just cut one and he's making a run for it.

Let's see... here, the Bilge Pumps are talking about the size of... somebody's.... something.

Even Phil looks surprised when he starts getting the rump shaker going during "Johnny Jump Up".

Galleon brandishes his large black stick and the audience starts laughing at him... or is it the limbo?

Phil gets bored with the whole singing and dancing thing and starts reading the movie review of "Snakes on a Plane".

At the end of the night, the Bilge Pumps pose with our fans from Danatopia... aka Denmark.



October Show

The Bilge Pumps stare at the empty microphone created by John Crow's absence.

Sharkbait Simon gets in touch with his inner baby boy... somehow it wasn't that hard to do.

Phil McGroin decides he's had enough of the singing pirate life and goes straight to the drinking pirate life.

Harvey, Galleon, and Phil fall asleep onstage from the boredom of the show.

Harvey has a phobia about dancing by himself, so he always manages to bring someone onstage with him.
