Christmas shows abound all over New York
By: Paul Keating
You can always count on the supreme shepherdess, Joanie Madden, to rise to the occasion of Christmas celebration with the annual Cherish the Ladies Christmas show. People flock to it every year, and there were two sold out shows in Mahwah, New Jersey where they made their first appearance at the Berrie Center at Ramapo College.
No group blends Christmas songs with hard core trad the way that Madden and the girls do as their popular Star of the East CD gives ample evidence.
Along with singer Deirdre Connolly, one of the original Cherish the Ladies almost 27 years ago who made the current tour to provide vocals, another special guest was singer Don Stiffe from Galway, a Madden favorite because of his “majestic” voice.
