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

Borat_Sagdiyev · 12-06-2007 01:50PM

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.

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.

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 · 26-01-2010 02:31PM

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

Mutleyhound · 27-01-2010 04:24PM

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 · 27-01-2010 04:27PM

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.
