If I had to choose mine too,The Irish diaspora.

I had a debate with Bluemoon's resident knobhead about this song a couple of years ago.

Just play the fucking song.

I'll be playing Dirty Old Town today - a song with a lot of emotion attached for me.

RIP Shane

Love that one.

R.I.P sad news

but living the life he did with drink and drugs, I say he did very well in reaching 65
sometimes living the fast and full life of a rock star and leaving nothing on the table for a rainy day is the best way to live, people like that pack as much into 65 years as 4 or 5 normal people's life spans

One of Kents finest. Wrote some cracking songs.

 

[Eccles Blue]

RIP Condolences to his family and friends. Some great songs. He will be missed. :-( :-)

 

[Crooked_rain]

Brilliant songwriter. One of the best bands I saw live. Never saw them in their prime as it was before I was born but got to see them towards the end of their time when they still toured and it was a fantastic piss up and sing along either way.

His death isn't much of a surprise, which is sad in itself.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Love him or loathe him, you couldn't deny he was a proper character. RIP Shane.
