Gary's old friend and collaborator the great Irish artist Camille O'Sullivan premiered her new show "Where Are We Now?" on Sat. Dec. 4th—the official opening night of the new Irish Arts Center on 11th Ave. and 51st St. in Manhattan. Gary worked with Camille a couple years ago in "State of Grace", an Australian tribute to Tim and Jeff Buckley in which Gods and Monsters were the house band, and he was thrilled to see her bring her magic to New York. She is giving the show here until Dec. 31st, and he urges everyone to see it if possible, it’s that special.
