This fella is going to be huge
A lovely poem about Seamus Ennis.
Does he have an eating problem ?
Would it not be more a stop eating problem ?
Shes a fine bird Ultan.

Playing Whelans on 15 November
Mentioned this on another thread recently, but this is a cracking cover. I’d have it right up there with the original. It’s funny how new generations keep rediscovering the same songs over and over. The old irish/folk songs won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but by God they are resilient.
They’re playing in the Milk Market on 22/12. Got tickets for them last week.
Those lads are on a wage from the record company. Playing in Glastonbury or the Milk Market they get the same bobs. Hard to make sense of it.
30 years ago today was the first episode of No Disco, RTEs greatest ever show?
Good long read here
Have seen them a few times, I think the first time was in Pharmacia in Limerick in 2019. They’ve been steadily building all this time, it’s great to see. A mighty sound bunch of lads to boot.
I just about remember this, my brothers used to rave about it, particularly in the Donal Dineen years.
Things were very different back then. No Disco was where you heard new alternative music - now it’s YouTube and Spotify.
