Hmm, a song that moves me... It's a toss-up between; Phil Coulter ~ The Star of The Sea and Phil Coulter ~ Grace The first song deals with the death of Phil Coulter's brother, Brian, who was tragically drowned in Lough Swilly, Co. Donegal, in 1984. The second song is about Grace Plunkett, nee Gifford, who married her childhood sweetheart, Joseph Mary Plunkett, on the night of 3rd May in the chapel of Kilmainham Jail, only a few hours before he was executed by firing squad, at 0430 on the morning of 4th May for his part in the Easter Rising during Easter week in Dublin 1916. Both of these will bring a tear to my eye... Slán, GC88
