Funny really how Bogle's name crops up every now and then I notice on Mary Black's latest album she does a fine version of "All the young men".
As a Dubliner I have no memory of him every playing here just like Harvey Andrews both of which I would have loved to have seen live but hope they enjoy their retirement and I'll content myself with albums and occasional video clips
