music to my ears

Here you go, sit back close your eyes and appreciate Sean O'Riadagh 

I will never forget the first time I heard this. It was Easter Tuesday night 1966, Croke Park, 

mum and dad collected me from boarding school in Baldoyle on Easter Monday and took me to fairy House for the Irish grand national on the Monday

 and the whole school went to the padgent in Croke Park to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1916 rising.

 At the end of the event everything went dark, 

I MEAN PITCH BLACK DARK

My third and last not to bore you all, the dubliners Rare auld times the incomparable Ronnie Drew.. https://youtu.be/9T7OaDDR7i8
