    Luke's niece is a friend of mine and when she got married a few years ago the traditional Irish music played at the afters was nothing short of brilliant . The bride herself playing the fiddle and her dad (Luke's brother) singing made it the best wedding I've been to. The talent in the whole family is remarkable.

    I know who you're talking about and even on a normal day in their house the music was flowing.

    Lately we've had proposals for a statue of Stephen Gatley and Nelson Mandella for Dublin, where's the statue for Luke?

    It seems like a silly oversight for Dublin not to celebrate one of it's most iconic characters and greatest artists.

    We have the Luke Kelly Bridge over the Tolka down near Ballybough but its a horrible, impersonal piece of architecture.

    Luke Kelly is the Voice of Ireland. That show on RTE on Sunday nights can stop searching.

    For our population we are punching well above our weight in this category and its something to be very proud of.

    Every country thinks it punches well above its weight in this category - because people know a far greater proportion of their own artists than those from any other country.
