Brings to mind the wild wind in the hair, the salt-spray lashing the lids of our eyes as we round the Head of Howth heading for the calm haven of Ballymun, the Seven Towers of Bono almost hidden behind the swaying forest of masts, the chiming of the ropes aginst the slender sail-posts. Born to seafaring life, the Ballymunners, as Luke sings, to "go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do". Is there a Matelot yet in Dublin 11?

I´m always thinking about Cliffs of Moher when I hear Irish music and this one is a very good piece of Irish music.... :)

@toothpick0 Look, at hate to pull rank on this but I'm Irish, in Ireland and have done Irish dancing- it's not called clogging.

@Bumblybee256 Yes it is. Can google it if you'd like.

Met the great man himself in Stamford, Lincolnshire recently (also Mr Irvine ) touring with Mozaik. They even spared time to offer advice on tuning my Bouzouki (which I had in my car with me ) but too scared to bring and and ask them to sign ! Next time lads...next time ! Legends!!!!
