I was saddened to hear that we have just lost Michael Longley. He was quite the bard. Not a word wasted.
The Design
Sometimes the quilts were white for weddings, the
design
Made up of stitches and the shadows cast by stitches.
And the quilts for funerals? How do you sew the
night?
Hello Christy,
Not sure about snugs that are completely enclosed, but we have plenty of old higgledy piggledy pubs with little stairs, dark wooden corners and nooks and crannies.
We also have some new pubs with a monstrous lack of character and lots of open space. They feel weird.

There is a Wetherspoons in Dun Laogaire..it may be the biggest pub in Ireland… in the snug,Musk,Trump,Zuckerberg,Bezos,Farage,Martin
Yep,still a few ‘snugs’ knocking about…very likely in some old pubs ..John Willie Lees brewery still going too!
Fairport on the road again…marking 55 years since ‘Full House’ was released…and the band has the original rhythm section (Nicol,Peggy and Mattacks)which is remarkable…I’ve had the pleasure of a few post gig chats with the guys over decades. A fine bunch of companeros. After the fatalities and injuries of the 1969 M1 van crash,it still amazes and impresses me that Simon Nicol loves the band and tours so much…good on em.
Keep safe all

I heard them in Free Trade Hall late 60s/early 70s…knocked me sideways…seed sown that inspired the idea of Moving Hearts….early Fairport led the way, many sought to follow in their wake
