Helo -

Just a thought hey...I loved Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane's Somebody To Love....But what about the head to toe lickable Leslie Dowdal from In Tua Nua belting out her COVER.

Over!

Sinead O'Connor was a unique talent of course, but there were many more troubadours and performing bands knocking about circa 70s / 80s, you know like, thousands of them probably. And all of them sans top of the pops appearances banging out their bish-bash-bosh-bada-bing-bada-boom-rock.

Rock into Meavy Metal, Glam, Grunge and Garage. All of the above into Punk - into New Wave - and on into The New Romantics. There were any amount of musical mayhem mofos banging out their teenage rebellions in local school gym halls. I give you my first memory of Aslan in St Bridget's school in Finglas, and later what was 'This Is' on the big but never big enough for their majestic talent stages. They were good enough to be on the biggest stage of them all, any of them.

There wasn't only U2 larking in the park's, collegiately congregating in collage ballrooms, buried up their bolloxes in bohemian Bibi Baskin lookalike country cailíní. Who remembers 'The Flea Market's' music magicians Engine Alley, The Virgin Prunes, or wind it back a little bit further to a section of us Dub army lads up maneuvering - pogo dancing - around and about the pubs/ clubs/hotel's of Dundalk/Monaghan town to the Celtic Rock legend likes of The Horslips with their banshee belter Dearg Doom.

Long before gaming on wifi PlayStation, tearaway teenagers had Radio Caroline. Long before Simon Cowell, we had Rory Gallagher on Bob Harris's 'Old Grey Whistle Test' to help incite our right of passage contrarian usurpation sh*te.

And what are today's children of those same particular rebel teenagers/incels stamping their hoofs over/about on the graves of the preceding cult pop fashion now hey hey = mammy I have poor wi-fi COVER.

Out!

Short Notice is sometimes the best notice....

Any Trad Heads, Adventure Junkies, or Historical Hooligans, We at Bright Harbour are heading down to the Annascaul, Di**le to shoot a small video for the Musician Gabby Fitzgerald...(pro bono) this coming bank holiday weekend. Roughing it in tents if anyone fancies sharing a beer in The South Pole Inn circa Saturday evening. hoping for clear starry skies with loud Uilleann over silent Uisce. Tis a beautiful tune Gabby has created on whistle and pipes in honour of Tom Crean. An Unsung Hero, no more.

It is with great sadness that we at Bright Harbour have been informed of the passing of Denis McCarthy. We offer our sympathy to his wonderful daughter Philomena and the rest of his lovely family near and far.

We only met Denis in his later life, but we were amazed at the strength of his character and even then, his ebullient sense of humour, humility and humanity in great measure.

It was an absolute privilege to be in this legends company, and to listen to some of the many incredible stories he decided in his later life to share. His parting gift to humanity was "the futility of war", and there can be no greater message to leave than that...

Though Denis wouldn't like the deference or the title, farewell Sir, the honour was all ours...you too were a great man.
