???? Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have visions of PGC emerging from a flu sleep with red wine hangover and a touch of boozers gloom, Danny Boy ringing round her head and this doubt....."I didn't start a thread on Danny boy did I? No, just a dream" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8685-danny-boy/page/2/#findComment-265074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Alas, the red wine was to induce sleep. It failed. Two hours is the longest I've managed before a hacking cough wakes me up. I'm not ashamed of last night's thread - it's obviously due to hallucinatory effects of no sleep for a week.Right, off to check out Maestro Locke.

giggirl Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 My mother adored Josef Locke.Sorry that all that red wine was to no avail PGC. Night Nurse perhaps?

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I might try a scotch concotion tonight. Night Nurse would be like drinking Benedictine and I'd have to move to Burnley.

SimonM Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Josef Locke! Yes! "Hear My Song" was a wonderful film and, if memory serves, featured an early (first?) role for local hero James Nesbitt...B) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8685-danny-boy/page/2/#findComment-265205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm pretty sure The Dubliners did a cracking version. My dad used to sing it to me when I was a little-un. Lovely song.

giggirl Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hear My Song is indeed a marvellous film. Just the thing for when you've got the flu. Recommended.

Ted Max Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Surely it can't be preferable to thrashing around in a tannin-induced waking nightmare, whilst 20 different versions of Danny Boy swim through your head?

annaj Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Jah, just for you I've had a good look, but I can't find a version by The Dubliners anywhere online. I did have my own trip down memory lane though, with Whiskey on a Sunday which my mum used to sing.

Jah Lush Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Probably only on vinyl Anna. My dad loved the Dubliners and once sang with them backstage at the Albert Hall.

Atila Reincarnate Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've always hated this song, and my hatred of it was made all the worse when some noodle decided to sing before Barry McGuigans fights in the 80's.

Jah Lush Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Atila, it was Barry McGuigan's dad who sang the song before his fights. Try and cheer up you miserable old sod.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sounds intriguing, legalbeagle, can you find a link?Emotionally, I'm leaning towards Josef Locke cos my grandpappy was in the Palestinian Police Force too. But, still think ol' Bing has it at the mo.PS, don't buy a disgusting concotion called Scotsmac costing ?3 from Netto. A blend of British wine and whisky. Yuk, yuk, yuk. But it is 15% proof so this thread might get interesting!

Moos Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This is exactly the kind of random bollocks for which the lounge was once justly famous. Good work, forumites. Has anyone posted a link to Josef singing Hear My Song itself yet?0 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8685-danny-boy/page/2/#findComment-265344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
