Advert in New Spotlight, 1971.

Michael was from Kilcullen, Co Kildare, and played the drums (dressed in a sailor outfit) and sang in his own showband, The Concordes.

This single, his debut, reached number one in the Irish charts. His second release, also a number one, was called ‘But You Love Me Daddy’.

Our bus home last night was entertained by a wee toddler singing at the top of her voice ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’ and then Adele’s ‘Someone like you’. I managed to record her first track here, the 39a has talent!

Sinn Féin is to seek legal advice on whether the Government’s information campaign on the Fiscal Treaty Referendum is in breach of the McKenna judgement. That judgement, delivered in 1995, said the Government is not allowed to use public funds to advocate one side in a referendum campaign. The Government has already set up a website – Stabilitytreaty.ie – and has approved a booklet for delivery to every home in the country over the next week.
