This is so sad and I bet it wil bring back memories for some who lived it. Very good words and tune, and very insightful, from a very talented writer.
Any of the lads out there?desa, willa,larry from Sean tracy house,joseph mansions They was the days.Fat and James R.I.P Two flagens and an escort.this is KEVA.
Fair play,Yeh wouldnt know the place now All gone,Do you remember dooleys shop next door across from sean tracy,Sold black jack bars and macaroon bars all kinds of good stuff.Auld buckingham street Great stuff,Keep it going aldermoorkid.
I am from England but with Irish ancestry, but you can still buy blackjack chews, and they used to be 2 for a penny when I was little, and I am 59 now. It has been a long time since you commented, but this reminds me of my own childhood !
ID LOVE TOO KNOW IS THAT GEORGES STREET NORTH SIDE? THATS THE dIAMOND OFF SEAN MACKER CHRIST ID LOVE SOME PHOTES OF THE AULD TOWN.tHE 27 STEPS,ACROSS SUMMERHILL UP THE BUS GARAGE LANE TO MOUNTJOY SQUARE,
Looks like it alright, I think Summerhill is there also, Don't know if it's a good or bad thing that that area is mostly gone, well,,, renewed. A part of Old Dublin went with it
Well done by Ramblers. Great shots. Tough song to listen to and visualize. I am thankful for what the Lord has given. Put's my problems into more perspective. Thanks again for posting.
There were so many cold and hungry children in the slums of Dublin because
the Catholic Church wouldn't allow contraception.

couldn't agree more! In twenty years time Eric'll be "discovered". Mind you, living in Adelaide means you are keeping a low profile -lol!
