Just back in from TLT , Kettle is boiling .
Where does one start ? From the opening chords of Deluge , the music certainly kept the spirits high, there was something for everyone even the politicians, lots of laughs Politicians/ DT’s/Shovel/Cumann Na Mna etc, etc. Then lots of the more serious stuff including Palestine and nice to hear Veronica Guerian and Lyra McKee still remembered for their bravery and Bobby remembered with Mcllhatton and good to hear Brendan’s Voyage and Farmer Michael Hayes being revisited.
Beeswing and Viva La Quina sounded better than ever and a beautiful medley to finish up with and everyone in the house singing along .
Since I came in I dusted down my DVD of
Come All You Dreamers from Barrowlands 2009 that’s 17 years ago now but no let up in the energy still as good tonight as it was then . Long may it continue.
I’m off to the county of Durham. I’ve heard there’s gold in the river at Hill End in Bishop Auckland. Did you like it Oop north playing the folk clubs? What would be your abiding memory? Did it involve panning for gold?
Another question Rosalita and Jack Campbell is so great a song but are the Black Mountains in North Carolina and who are the people with sub machine guns or is the Black Mountains east of Belfast referencing the fast food takeaway because they have great chippers there?
Have a great time in Drogheda. I wish I was there. I am sure you will hit the seam and get the fever! X
