It's Monday night and I thought I would share two great bands with you. The first one is the great Thin Lizzy. I once saw them at Manchester Apollo (Renegade Tour) in November 1981. The great Phil Lynott was a great Manchester United fan and his mother was born in Clonakilty here in West Cork. God bless you Phil.
Seeing that I am a smallholding farmer. Here's one of their great and very appropiate songs: The Cowboy Song. What a great band.
A few months ago I was watching the Cambridge Folk Festival on Sky. A Northumberland band called The Unthanks played a song called: The King of Rome. It's incredibly moving and it's my favourite song of the year. The Unthanks are touring the UK and one night in Dublin this Autumn. I really want to go to see them but it's a Monday night and I would need to stay in an hotel for the night and it's along way from West Cork and I will have to get somebody to look after the farm animals and... Tell you what check out this great You Tube video and see what you think.
I forgot to say the Unthanks appear in the video with the Brighouse and Rastrick brass band. I adore brass bands. Brassed Off is one of my favourite films of all time. Do you like Brassed Off?
