A Moment Of Silence

Thom McGinty (top) and his funeral procession on Grafton Street, Dublin

Twenty years today.

Much-loved, supernaturally rigid Scotland-born, Dublin-based, statuesque street performer Thom ‘The Diceman’ McGinty died.

I remember him as being really nice to kids. As a wee culchie up for the day in the 1980s with my folks, seeing and interacting with The Diceman on Grafton St. was always a highlight.
