Eddie Delahunt's 'Café &'

The Deck / Stage - Eddie Delahunts Cafe &
In a very exciting piece of news for the Irish Community in KC, Irish performer Eddie Delahunt has announced he is opening a café in Kansas City, at 45th and State Line in the antique district.
UPDATE Jun 12: And it's open
Situated at 1811 W 45th St, on the site of the former Balsano's Coffee House Café, Delahunt's Café & (read ''Café And'), has a spacious courtyard and a deck, of which we can only drool about summertime Irish music. Expect some interestingly-named coffees, more of which later.

Eddie says Café & will be open 'early June', which is just in time for the 2006 World Cup, as things would have it. A venue for Delahunt where he himself can perform as well as bring talented Irish musicians to, has long been talked of as an ideal for Kansas City's Irish, and this is great news.

Speaking to me last night Eddie said he'll continue his weekly Irish music performances at O'Dowd's Little Dublin, WJ McBride's Irish Pub, and Mike Kelly's Westsider.

Well, thanks be to God for answers to prayer!
Eddie Delahunt...Himself...in our new neighborhood, you say! We are also moving to the State Line/45th St. corridor in June.
Whaddya say we give the whole bloomin' area a new name?!?!? Any suggestions?
Celtic Corner??
The Blarney Block?
