Broithe Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Well, wagons, really. These interesting examples of cross-over marketing seem to have hit the shelves. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02KNqZk5eZCT1xsXzvEvfurShca8TzDeW9nJYoDcWgD8NTnLxAUmcF7riqxqHsoC7Bl&id=289396587829410 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old man rant warning: I think the beatles, and that grumpy oul van morrison, are amongst the most overrated performers that these islands have produced. Only slightly more onboxious are the gallaghers. Can't stand any of them. Rant over; I'll show myself out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late shift pilot loco driver at Sligo in the 50s was a Dubliner and we happen to know that this was his favourite song….click the link, listen to this and you can almost see that J26 thumping up the bank to Sligo town. For myself, I think Irish railways ran to the melodies of Carolan. Especially Lord Inchiquin. And the O’Riada version of Planxty Johnson. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tuohy+twenty+men+dublin+&client=safari&hl=en-gb&biw=375&bih=628&tbm=vid&sxsrf=ALiCzsbdsjmBFsnN4RJ3nBaKxKjGtDyluw%3A1669750478784&ei=zl6GY_bDL9qQ8gLF3aeQBg&oq=tuohy+twenty+men+dublin+&gs_lcp=ChBtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXZpZGVvEAM6BAgjECdQhwtYg0xg909oBXAAeACAAZYBiAGFCpIBBDEwLjSYAQCgAQGqARBtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXZpZGVvwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-video#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:f4ed01ce,vid:IoRBLLTdXWM Edited November 29, 2022 by Galteemore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting them mixed up with Hornsby. Bruce is a one-hit wonder, I'd say that at his concerts he sings the same song over and over again for about two hours. That's just the way it is...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a chap I worked with once describing a task as being "as tedious and futile as being Bruce Hornsby's drummer" - once you're aware of it, it's all you can hear. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
