You are not that mature, anyone over 24 or so should have at least been in both a few times.

I had reason to be in the danny man nightclub a couple of years ago (There was a poker game on there), that brought back some old memories

I'll show my age here now and tell y'all that Revelles was a booming nightclub when I was a youngin' and was actually the first night-club I went to in Killarney .

Tell me, does anyone else remember the Beat on the Street that was held outside the Danny Mann, what seems like a life-time ago now. The likes of eraser had a hit at the time I remember

Not old enough for the real thing, but I was in a teenage disco in Revelles to receive our town league trophies way back in the day.

Actually must have been a pre-teenage disco, all in primary school.

Jaysus, I started young.

Good times!

So i packes up my bags and headed down the Road and I got me a job with Henry Ford
But I made a mistake and went much too far................ :cool:

Glad to be of service!!

Everyone should own at least the discography!!
As a bit of trivia(sorry if im boring ye)
He bought his Fender stratocaster nearly new in Crowleys music shop(still trading) in cork city when he was 16 and played it until he died age 47 in 1995.

Rorys is on the left and the copy is on the right. Iv seen the guitar in an exhibition in dublin and its just amazing to look at the wear and tear on it.
It could tell some stories if it could talk!!

He has all the albums - the pictures and memories are in his head.

Thanks for the DVD suggestion, birthday & xmas presents for dad sorted for next year , he usually ends up with socks.

I think it's just great that Killarney is returning to it's old bustling self again. It's been quite for such a long time but now, maybe it's the fine weather & the few days races but wow! just a nice atmosphere around Killarney these days

i must say since the golden circle got the buskers and the face painters moved from market cross we lost some of the atmosphere....were moving in the right direction but i honestly think we should pedestrianise one of the streets ...to help bring more fun to the streets...just a thought

oeb

You know, we nearly have enough people floating around here now to arrange a killarney beers.
