Packie Russell (brother of Micho) & Manus Walsh (Concertina & Bodhrán) play beautiful music in Gussie O'Connor's Pub, Doolin, County Clare in April 1973.
I can't imagine O'Connors without Packie in his own chair by the fire. I was a regular for a couple of years in the 70s. We were told that Packie made the fireplace that you can see behind him. He was one of the most interesting people that I ever came across. He actually played very infrequently at the time I was there but we had some very surreal conversations. He was definitely a one-off.
On a flat road in the west of Scotland that depends on whether you are going north (down) or south (up) Sios gu tuath, suas gu deas. In London, and probably other places, you can go down east or up west.
