I saw him at The Rank in 1971.

Was that the gig where the rock n roll band (Wild Angels?) stole the show?

I saw him a couple of weeks ago your ears must have been on fire.

Might have bumped into you there.

Lovely statue of him in Ballyshannon Co Donegal.

They have a festival every year named after him in Ballyshannon, been over there a few times whilst it's on and it's great

Just seen Darren's post above


Anyone thinking about going over, it's worth it.

Tip though, don't stay in Ballyshannon and base yourself in Donegal Town......much nicer place
