With Love from the Kennedys and Doyles, the Barretts and Malones of Peoria IL who traced back to the Doyle lockmaster of the Tinnahinch Lock on the River Barrow in Graiguenamanagh.

The old Mick Doyle's hardware store in town is still run by a local descendant now a lively trad music pub. Distant kin to us from Peoria.

The old castle ruins and tollstation visible in the center of the roof to the rear. Lockmaster house dates to 1690-1725 built by the Barrow Navigation Co. The Lock is still manual and works beautifully, there are vids on youtube in action.

Lift, McCahir Og, up your face
Still brooding o'er tha old disgrace?
That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place and Drove you to the Fern

Gray said victory was sure
And soon the Firebrand he'd secure
Until he met at Glenmalure
With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare
Fiach will do, what Fiach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low...

Up with halberd, out with sword
On we'll go for by the lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow

See the swords of Glen Imayle
They're flashing o'er the English pale
See all the children of the Gael
Beneath O'Byrne's banners

Roosters of the fighting stock
Would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon, an Irish rock?
Fly up and teach him manners

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare
Fiach will do, what Fiach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low

Up with halberd, out with sword
On we'll go for by the lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow

From Tassagart to Clonmore
There flows a stream of Saxon gore
O great is Rory Og Omore
At sending the loons to Hades

White is sick, Grey is fled
And now for Black Fitzwilliams head
We'll send it over dripping red
To Queen Liza and her ladies

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare
Fiach will do, what Fiach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low

Up with halberd, out with sword
On we'll go for by the lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow

For the late great Eric Carmen who schooled us all how to slick up that hippie hair and glitz the bellbottoms into a power pop ballad supergroup.

He was memorialized in the gutter press as the lead in his obit' Trump supporting singer dies'. Say amen, we'll lay claim to his entire catalogue and wake him into next week. The soundtrack to a thousand summer nights with the convertible top down, wind in our hair, young lovers everywhere.

Fearless patriot on twitter till Dorsey pulled his free speech plug on him.

He belongs to the ages now!

A fantastic song I first heard only last year when the singer past away.

Cheers!

The Notting Hillbillies - Feel Like Going Home

This was played in the nether regions of the board today by @Haybails, and it deserves so much more exposure. It was the first time I'd ever heard it. The singer is named Brendan Croker. He just died on September 10th last year. From 1990! Feels so agonizingly poignant, like it was recorded just yesterday.

When the foot tapping Irish dance party song from Titanic gets an unbelievable Punjabi revival. A multi cultural music video with Britain's Castles, India's streets, highland dancers, Bagpipes, Punjabi folk, bhangra dancers, Russian violinist and a crazy dhol player get together to showcase the amazing diversity in the world and how we all have something in common despite the distance and differences. Enjoy this brand new titanic dance song with Bagpipes.
