    We all thought 2020 was the worst year ever. But we all were wrong. It was 2023 because Ireland lost two of their unique legends. R.i.p. Shinéad, R.i.p. Shane! You both cannot be replaced. 💚🤍🧡

    The tension at 4:36 is palpable as everyone is on the edge of their seat waiting for Shane to close the song out without fucking it up 😂 Thankfully he delivers in spectacular fashion, one of the true greats of not just Irish music but music in general. Also RIP Sinèad, fantastic contribution from her here aswell

    In 1986 I went for a pee in a wee pub in Red Cross, Co. Wicklow. Beside me at the urinals was a man that looked exactly the same as Ronnie Drew. I said to him "how's it going" and he replied in almost the exact same brogue as Ronnie "Grand". I couldn't help myself, I said "you look a lot like Ronnie Drew", he laughed and said "I'm Gerry, Ronnie's brother". It was an uncanny experience. I told him about my musical relatives, the Watchorn's from Crumlin in Dublin and he knew them well. We all had a drink out at the bar and I never saw Gerry again. It was an honour to see Patsy Watchorn playing and singing as part of this great ballad. Great job U2. Here's to you Ronnie Drew, and your Brother Gerry!

      I was in a guitar shop, a few years back, saw someone that looked familiar. I said to him, you look like that Sean bloke from the Dubliners. He said I am that Sean bloke from the Dubliners. I felt such an idiot & we had a great laugh. Took a few selfies etc . He was such a gentleman. After he and his wife left the owner told a few nice stories about him. A Class act. Loved all the Dubliners.
