@VasilisBotoulas Have'nt been there for many many years,but still have fond memories of your amazing land.If anyone has a plan for me,I would certainly consider returning to sing a song or two...(leogiillespie@hotmail.c­om)Keep n touch my friend....

We recorded an album in Trend studio but it's probably buried in dust in their archives as it was never released.I remember leaving a cassette copy with Big D radio then every trace of the event kind of disapeared,maybe it was a bit too controversial for the time.We did release a single of Old McDonald meets the kami kazi pilot ,which became a minor hit in Dublin...Would love to hear your recording of "Dayo"...

Wow....Just like the old days in the Baggot Bin, 'Permanent Cure' are a welcome reminder of Dublin in the 70's

Was at the first night they played in The Baggot Inn. Remember a few songs... Hunting Tigers out in India.... If the river was wiskey...and many more......

@vectravi2008 Yes,interesting times and amazing atmospheres,was happy to been a part of those hysterical days...You are the first person who actually says they were there....I wonder if there is anyone else out there who witnessed that blip in reality.

I was there! But I was pretty small at the time. I remember 'Dayo' and I think I have a recording of it on tape.
