The Fingal Folk Club has been going great of late with some memorable performances being conjured up week after week. If it’s not Teddy on the banjo, blazing out some lively tunes, then it’s Peter on the accordion showcasing his incredible talents with a set of polkas, or some beautifull slow air.
This song is called The Irish Cricket Song

When the dark November gales
drive us back to shore
we pass the time with stories
and tales of fishing lore
we cried when there was bad times
and laughed when they were good
a man ca’nt live on dry land
when the sea is in as blood

There’s an autumn feel to the air–especially early in the morning. we w’ont mention the dreaded winter for another while yet. Although the winter is a time for long nights in by a warm cosy fire and sometimes the brain kicks into action and the songs start to flow…now i think i’m looking forward to it .
See you soon–some changes coming down the pipe–watch this space.

It was really nice to play the Fingal Folk Club again after a long break. All the regulars were there, with some new additions and lots of talent on show. I got to perform The Night Visit, a song associated with the great Luke Kelly. It felt good and the audience liked it a lot. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

We cast flowers on the water
and we watched them drift away
then the moment overtook us
as we joined our hands to pray
now the seagulls flying overhead
keep watch where brave men lie
we cast flowers on the water
when we said our last goodbye
