Anyone know where i can get a copy of "When i grow up" by Brian o Rourke. I have tried and tried and failed.

I feel your pain - I was looking for the same for ages. The only way to get it is a music shop in galway. Its on the top of shop street, can't remember the name, sorry. But you'll get it in there alright.

Igot it in Custys music shop in Ennis although its a few years ago now.

Me too!

I bought the tape from himself years ago when he was performing in a pub in Ennis. It's been mangled to death by my stereo and I'd love to get a fresh copy.

gubby

anyone know if he is still recording/playing? last I heard from him was that he had a few more songs and was planning on making an new tape/cd but that is about 3 yrs ago now.

gubby

Did that CD ever get off the ground? I'd definately buy it if it ever gets produced. Thats been in the pipeline an awful long time though.

Doesn't it have something like 28 verses? I know a chap who is trying to learn it.

savagecabbages

I dunno exactly how man verses, but at 14.38 long there are def a few!

Drumsnot is another classic, slightly shorter but equally as funny

For a real challenge try 'Long Lankin' or the extended version of 'Johnny Scott' as i've bben told by Joe @ Ben O'Neills Music Shop Dungarvan .... benoneill@cablesurf.com

Mutleyhound

You'll get 'Chantelle du Champignon' on Mick Walsh cd entitled - Before I Kick The Bucket 13.52 mins long...

Ah the Ballad of Drumsnot. I remember hearing that on a tape. Its definately one of the funniest songs I've ever heard.
