For the week that’s in it.
Any excuse.
Any excuse 2.
From Elvis to The Muppets, the story of “Danny Boy” (RTÉ Brainstorm)
A poster designed by Jack Healy for Danny Boy, a comedy by Ferdia Mac Anna currently in post-production which is…
‘…Set in small town Ireland in 1981, ‘Dannyboy’ tells the story of a young man trying to find love among New Romantics, Post Punks, Goths and others tribes.
The film centres around Daniel, an anxious, stuttering teen in his attempt to save his demented family in the midst of a compromising love triangle…’
Honda out of that.
Eoghan Rua Finn writes:
“Take a look at this video of Wexford man John Doyle playing Danny Boy on a handsaw. He was a guest on the Morning Mix on Southeast Radio today. Might interest your readers.”

Elvis Presley, who died on this day in 1977, sings a gospel version of Danny Boy, recorded a year before his death
Mmf.
Meanwhile, in Cork:
The Eire Elvis.
That’s him in the hat.
