I am Rory Furlong, Fintan Connolly is Dominic Behan, Jim McLean was not only a friend of Dominic Behan's but was also Dominic's publisher. "The Soddin" is not an expletive - it's the tale of Stephen Behan's funeral (with some embelishments)I have no idea who Splottman is and I would like him to get in touch with me because my mobile is up the creek and I haven't been able to get in touch with you Ned (oops)as for Jim McLean - dear Jim I got your message via Danny Kilbride but as my computer is also the same way as my mobile I've not been able to get in touch but seeing as you are a prolific contributor to Mudflaps or whatever this site is called if you make contact with me thru the Pontardawe Festival site - info@pontardawefestival.co.uk - I will get back to you by return - well, when I get back to Wales - am in Ireland at present. Will be in Scotland very soon to visit Josephine & would like to meet up for a pint & a chat about "the Soddin". To anyone else - there is no G in "soddin"!
