    Ah I see the “Mummers” or “Straw-boys” were out.

    Nothing could quite prepare me as a small little fellow for the horror and shock of seeing an army of those buckos burst through the doors of the house on St. Stephen’s Day and do their thing. Didn’t help that i conflated them with scarecrows and Wurzel Gummidge which was on TV at the time.

    Scarred for life.

    Good to see that there are those who DO give a fiddlers. Accordian to someone who was there, the turnout was impressive. Hopefully those flutes of developers will see there is reel opposition here and that the jig may be up?

    couldnt help notice the AIG logo as sponsor on dublin jerseys. would be ironic if it turned out AIG was involved in either providing insurance or other in providing services to new hotel.

      AIG would underwrite Kim Jong Un if the price was right I’d imagine.

      Those pesky nukes have a habit of being somewhat hazardous.

    Why is the demolition of an old pub which currently houses trad nights seen as an attack on trad itself?

    Now don’t me wrong, I hate trad music as much as the next guy, but in my experience it just pops up somewhere else because:
    1. It attracts mid-week drinkers and
    2. Any empty pub would be delighted to have a trad session.

    There have been several ‘traditional’ pubs in Cork that have closed or been renovated over the years that had a Sun/Mon/Tue trad session and you know what? The trad, like a phoenix from the ashes, appeared somewhere else, playing that one tune in whatever key a musician last called.
