Used to know the male singer here years ago. How he has come a long way.
The Lovable Irish Rogue
No story, just love this duo.... there's something within me that connects with their work. Though I don't think I heard them as a child, I feel like it involves the little girl in me. Shame they only did one album before splitting. Hmmm.... I guess that is a bit of a story after all.

Inspired by the wonderful rugby video in the random video thread. Given my nationality and background, this song has a lot of meaning for me.
We like to sing it at both Rugby matches and football matches. Amazing when you hear thousands of fans singing it. Rings around the stadium.
This next band could have taken over the world. They had a major record deal on the table in the US. But the singer had to go into rehab and the deal fell through. In my eyes one of our greatest ever bands. Singer is slowly dying of a form of cancer. People simply love the man. If he ran for President he would easily win. No contest.

I have heard of that band too. Remember them. Some names you just recall. Strawberry Switchblade.
Have a listen to this. Amazing song. Crazy world. Just what we all live in.
And then there is this gem. Don't go getting all emotional.

To soothe the soul. 3 sons from 3 world famous opera singers.
Been on a journey of discovery with Christy Digham. Such a talented and creative man yet also such a very troubled soul... no wonder he turned to drugs considering what happened to him as a child.
I see his daughter also sings.
I stumbled across the clip below. I don't mind admitting that I got very emotional watching it. I believe that's his daughter in the audience?
This song has a lot of significance for me. I've been to Gallipoli and walked where the trenches used to be and visited the war memorial to read some of the hand written stories from men as they were about to die. There was also a commemorative statue that illustrates the futility of war... it was of a Turkish soldier in the trenches that raised a white flag, left the safety of his trench to carry a wounded Australian solider back Australian lines and then returned to his lines before resuming back to fighting.
I love the cultural appreciation and diversity shown in this clip... An Irishman singing a song written by a Scottsman about an Australian soldier.
Anyway, there is a lot in this... I may blog about it more detail.
We make a good couple of coconuts I'm dumb and you're shy.....
