I wish I was in Carrickferugus

[NaomiFromMilkShake]

TBH

I am from Dublin, but I am desperately home sick...

So any port in a storm..

More to come, I am on a YT sob fest.

Second Violin

Sweet sixteen

will join you.

My anthem, grew up in Dublin. (Artane)

Used to take the 46a to Booterstown to see the late great Norman Flood, orthodontist of his parish.

For you OP

Luke Kelly 'Scorn Not His Simplicity'

Actually, wasn't the Luke Kelly song written about Phil Coulter's son, who had Down Syndrome?

The same Phil Coulter who wrote 'Carrickfergus' and this beauty

The town I love so well

Hozier has just set me off again. >

It's brilliant, I've listened to it on repeat. Goosebumps.

I love Phil coulter. No one else ever seems to have heard of him!

@StandardLampski

I agree! An absolute master of lyrics. Poetic. Nut I think people know the songs, just not that he wrote them?

But not nut!

Btw I'm glad you responded. I thought I'd lowered the tone of the thread and scared the Hozier's fans off

I just lost a long post!
Anyway I just laughed at link to summer in Dublin!
I am not that far off from actually being in Carrickfergus but I love to torture my children by singing Summer in Dublin at them. Also making them respond with how the Liffey stank like hell. Strange I know but sure we can’t all be normal

Am going to introduce my kids to his music tomorrow- they will be thrilled

I went to see him twice in concert when I was about 16 ... no one is ever impressed by my first gig story

Thank you for reminding me!
