Luke Kelly Video


A moving tribute to the Irish musical legend Luke Kelly. Includes commentary from Christy Moore, Shane McGowan, Gerry Adams and many more. Even Bono from U2 offers an interview but he's talking shite as usual, i'm embarrased everytime he (Paul Hewson) opens his mouth. See the complete video here.
Great orignial video and recordings that are masterpieces in Irish music. Covers his early life in the very poor Five Lamps area of Dublin, through the fame his love of Ireland, her music and her people brought him.

Wildwood Irish Weekend

Well guys another wild Wildwood Irish weekend has come and gone. The weather was great, lots of Irish merchandise, lots of Irish music and pubs. Turnout was good on Friday and Saturday but Sunday seemed pretty light to me. This may in part be due to the fact that I spent most of Sunday near Keenans where the whole block was closed. Anyone know why the Keenans block was closed? Perhaps things were more lively further down near the food court. Personally I suspect the fact that the Eagles played at 4pm on Sunday (and a very late Saturday night party) contributed to the Sunday turnout.
Still, Saturday was great and it is still all it is cracked up to be and more. If you have been there then please let us know what you think of Irish weekend in Wildwood NJ.
