And of course barleycorn

 

[Aladdin]

And its lashing down now.
Sun still shining but there are hailstones falling.
Bloody cold by the look of it.

And The Coronas are now singing the Cranberries' Linger.

 

[Aladdin]

There's a rainbow now....
crazy weather

Actually they are doing a great version of Linger.

Apologies for boring the pants off all the Loyalists

 

[Aladdin]

Final song from The Coronas now.



Just a bit of info... O' Reilly (lead singer) is Mary Black's son.

Taking a break...

 

[Aladdin]

President Mary Robinson now speaking
Quoting Eavan Bolands poem ...

The Emigrant Irish​

Eavan Boland


Like oil lamps, we put them out the back —

of our houses, of our minds. We had lights
better than, newer than and then

a time came, this time and now
we need them. Their dread, makeshift example:

they would have thrived on our necessities.
What they survived we could not even live.
By their lights now it is time to
imagine how they stood there, what they stood with,
that their possessions may become our power:
Cardboard. Iron. Their hardships parceled in them.
Patience. Fortitude. Long-suffering
in the bruise-colored dusk of the New World.

And all the old songs. And nothing to lose.

The Chieftains are on!!!!

Their last Hurrah!!!!

 

[Aladdin]

There's something very unique about the sound of The Chieftains. Very easy, well blended...not loud..not shouty. Just lovely.

Sad that this is their last hurrah..
