I dreamt that Mr. Haughey had recaptured Crossmaglen
Then Garret got re-elected and gave it back again.
Dick Spring and Roger Casement were on board the Marita-Ann
As she sailed into Fenit they were singin' Banna Strand.

Seen the sweaty one a few times now, not young enough to remember the days of Planxty or Moving Hearts, but I've been lucky enough to see Andy Irvine and Christy Moore often enough in recent times.... with Declan Sinnott, he is at his best. 

As for Daaaaaaaamo Dempsey, big fan of the lad. I like the positivity in a lot of his stuff, and while he's sometimes lyrically weak, he can churn out brilliant stuff too:
 
I'm awoken by a...
Hankbrake turn outside,
I knew lads who died,
That sound chills me inside still.

That's a fair comment but he's in a completely different era than any of them so it would be unfair to compare him to any of those all time greats.

Count, that mancurian candidate was actually one of my least favourite denzel flicks - very weird film. Training Day, The Hurricane and Man on Fire are his best if ye ask me Thumbs%20Up.....smashin films

As much as I like Damo ( his music that is) i dont quite get that exicted myself , but tis good to see he has some fans here. Although honey monster I wouldnt class him a legend just yet. Well not with the greats such as the Luke Kellys, Christys and Shane Mcgowans just yet, but he has the potential.

Might try and go to the Vicar Street gigs in january. Have never seen Christy live but the 2006 DVD at the Point was absolutley brilliant. Never know when he'll quit doing the shows again as well.

Got my tickets for the monday gig as soon as they went on sale!!
I really cant stress how much I admire this fella - in my opinion he's an irish singing legend.
Billybob; he's the best live act i've ever seen - you'll never see a singer put so much effort and passion into their songs. I know ppl that have gone to one of his gigs not knowing any of his songs and left the concert in love with the chap.
Anyone that has never listened to any of his songs, give him a chance.....well worth your while Thumbs%20Up
