The trip to Doolin, Co Clare was once again very inspiring musically. Brilliant tunes, breath-taking songs... Meeting Ted McCormac twenty years after first listening to his powerful voice... 

Found this version of Spancil Hill afterwards... Great lyrics by Jamie Storer (who once wanted to become a popstar, according to Tony).

DOOLIN BANK HOLIDAY

It being a Bank Holiday 
I went into McGann´s
To listen to the music 
and to try a couple of cans
I sat down in the corner 
with my backy and my jar
And listened to the people 
as they came into the bar.

The first guy was an Aussie 
wearing floral shirt and shorts
A reject out of Baywatch 
he was into water sports
Thought Theresa´s name was Sheila 
and Australian beer was best
And he didn´t give a four X 
for the Lager in the West.

Next 6 Germans they came in 
with rucksacks on their backs
They were very disappointed 
when they heard the price of Schnaps
They took their rucksacks of their backs 
and piled them by the doors
Then they ordered ´half of Smith-Wicks´ 
and half a dozen straws.

An English couple they came in 
with Charles their favourite son
They thought they´d pay a visit 
they thought that the peace had been won
They ordered cucumber sandwiches 
and a pot of tea for two
They never had the stomach 
for that awful Irish stew.

The next guy was American, 
he was searching for his roots
His grandfather´s name was Kennedy 
and his mother played the flute
He ordered an Irish Coffee 
with a Shamrock on the top
And he wanted to take a picture, 
it was such a beautiful spot.

The next lads they came from Offaly, 
they´d a pass out for the day
They left their wife and kids at home 
and they´d come to Clare to play
They ordered sixteen pints of Stout 
and then they shouted for more
And then twenty minutes later 
both collapsed upon the floor.

The list goes on forever, 
international through and through
With every kind of foreigner – 
and some from Doolin too
They came to hear the music 
in the corner by the boys
But they never heard anything 
there was too much fxxxing noise.
