An homage “to Bagatelle’s great song, to the 46A and to ice cream!”
Fergus O’Neil writes:
I’ve illustrated and screen printed this love song to Summer in Dublin (what an amazing song!!!! up there with [Chris de Burgh’s] Spanish Train & Spaceman Came Travelling in my opinion) Dublin bus and ice cream.
Printed here in Irishtown, Dublin 4 on a 50 year old Italian semi automatic Mini FAS machine (the last of its kind in Ireland no less and rescued from a scrap yard)
6 colour screen print. Full process halftone + 2 spot colours.
Signed & Numbered Edition of 99 (ice cream reference wha!)
Available at link below WHILE STOCKS LAST
I’ll give two of these prints to the first of your readers if they can name the song within the song in ‘Summer in Dublin’…
Anyone?

Rock and Roll Never Forgets
First print winner!
Cool – thanks lads as I love it. It’s going on my bathroom wall and I aim to redecorate said room to match it.
Dirty protest?
ahhh, Rock ‘n’ Roll Never Forgets.
Second print winner!
Cheers, Bodger. Appreciated.
Rock and Roll Never Forgets (?)
Boj, you were a nano-second behind Gary. Sorry.
Booooo…..!!!
I probably wouldn’t have got the prize off yez anyway…
I’m off now to slam a door.
Ah now Boj, you got that prize.
I can categorically say NO, I did not get that prize.
(Now I look all mean and angry – it was only a teasers hamper – ye probably did me a favour anyway in the long run)
Rolling rock? I’m confuse?
A Bob Seger song if I recall rightly, “…Come back Baby, Rock n Roll Never Forgets”.
Ahh good times listening to Bob and the Silver Bullets
Ah, Rock ‘N ‘Roll Never For…
Sorry what was the question again?
Irishtown?
Is that the Irish Times Residential Property Section name for The Blades Revisited… album?
Song rock n roll never forgets bob segar

I believe thats called damning with faint praise….
Your heart just isn’t ready for the much maligned and sadly forgotten ‘story song’. Open your heart and your ears real Polithicks! Summer in Dublin I would suggest is the finest popular song about Dublin recorded ever recorded.
I unashamedly am a huge fan of Chris de Burgh Spanish train & Spaceman came travelling. I defy you to listen to Spanish train and not be simply blown out of your pants by Chris’ raw energy.
I might also say hating on Chris because he’s a remarkable dwarf is very begrudging.
I don’t know how old you are Fergus but I’m 55 and I remember Chris De Burgh well from back in the day. Frankly his music was sh%te then and it definitely hasn’t improved with age imho. I do like your prints though, keep up the good work.
Here now lay off Chris, Don’t Pay The Ferryman is a stone cold jam
