Saw them supporting Hot House Flowers in the RDS in '88. They were absolute shite.

Nicole: a little peace.

My sister got this as a picture disc and I broke it on her after a sibling row.

Wouldn’t blame you. We were taught this song in school like it was some significant moment in history. It was a german hippie singing shite.

In fairness, the teacher in question was brilliant, but working very hard in her first year to be in some way contemporary.

This song was a great influence on my adolescence, much like the previous one I posted.

Wasn’t Nicole only about 16 when she won, it was huge in Ireland, Garth Brooks like huge

That was a gas day actually. Black Velvet Band followed by Deacon Blue, then Aswad (“Do you like reggae? 36000 people - No”) then Tracey Chapman who I thought was absolutely brilliant the the Flowers who were fucking awesome. I ended up on top of many very very tall human pyramids, will never understand how I didn’t break my fucking neck.
I seem to remember some fellow posters were at that gig - @ciarancareyshurlingarmy ? I might be completely wrong though.
It was a great day though, topped off with the Hydro that night where I shifted some young one from Mullinavat.

did I hear somewhere the crowd were chanting “have you got a fast song” at her ?!?
