DUBLIN CAN BE HEAVEN Dublin Saunter

D'ya know its really true, Dublin can be Heaven....take a ramble through the city on the Liffey, to the melody of that great old singalong favourite " The Dublin Saunter" a song written by Leo Maguire and immortalised by our own Noel Purcell... Here is a version of the song with input from Bingo Nolan and piano played by Gerry O'Brien..... also a great picture mix of Dublin past in the rarest of times when life had a gentler pace....Ahhh! I remember it well.

This is great. Thank you. A very nice version that brought me back to listening to the Noel Purcell version on a scratched-to-bits single on a Sunday afternoon when I was very young and living on the Northside. Any idea where I could get the piano music played here? It's wonderful and light.
