Subject: Obit: Chris Andreeti From: Larkin Date: 30 Apr 07 - 11:49 AM Chris Andreeti died on friday of lung cancer near his home in Roscommon, he was aged 66 -I think - Chris was an extraordinary singer who spent most of his life busking and playing fantastic great music in various bands . He was in the Peelers with Mick o'Connor , with kevin Burke and Tom maddon in Lazy Reel (of which there are no known recordings - a great pity ) He also spent some time in San francisco playing with the Mild Colonial Boys. I met him in Amsterdam in the late 70's and have remained in touch. A man of huge heart and beautiful chocolaty voice and a fine harmony singer to boot. I'll miss him. Chris was responsible for writing the air to a wonderful song - Ballyroan - Delorous Keane recorded it ( not well unfortunately ) My favourite song to sing - His funeral was today - God bless him !

Subject: RE: Obit: Chris Andreeti From: GUEST,Andy Hepworth Date: 15 May 07 - 07:52 AM Very sad to hear that Chris Andreeti has died. It's thirty years since I've seen him as well but he was a fine man indeed. Full of life and good humour though I know he had his darker moments. I saw quite a lot of him in London in the seventies and those days are very fond memories. I do have some good cassette recordings of him singing back then, both with Lazy Reel and with a Dutch lady called Miriam. I can probably arrange to make copies for anyone who knew him well, I'm sure he would'nt have minded.( I guess I'd have to check with Kevin Burke first on the Lazy Reel tapes). Does anyone know what happened to Tom Maddon? Andy |

Subject: RE: Obit: Chris Andreeti From: The Borchester Echo Date: 15 May 07 - 07:58 AM Hey, I'd like to hear Lazy Reel again if you can manage to organise a tape or CD. Tom Madden (so I've heard) is living in Kilburn but not playing at all. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Chris Andreeti From: Larkin Date: 15 May 07 - 10:34 AM Hi there, I'd love to hear Lazy reel and I'm curious about the tape with Miriam as I also plyed with them both - mainly in the Dam. As to Tom Maddon , he's living in Ireland now and was at the funeral. I was talking to Annie - Chris's partner and she said there were miles of cars all down the road. There's a gig for Chris happening on the 26th near to where he lived in Cootehall , roscommon. proceeds to the hospice he died in . I unfortunately am gigging all week end so can't go . I also have a cd that Chris did a couple of years ago with some lovely songs that had been his favourites over the years . recorded by Liam Cunningham . I'm sure there won't be a problem if anyone would like a copy. Maybe a donation to the hospice. I really miss him. Martin |
