There's a reference to a specific pub in the liner notes to The Battlefield Band's album "After Hours": »AFTER HOURS / THE GREEN GATES / THE SHIP IN FULL SAIL Charlie McGettigan's 'After Hours' came to us as a result of Alistair's solo touring days in Ireland. The song was written in praise of the good times to be had in Kate's Bar, County Leitrim. No after hours drinking session — in Ireland or Scotland, or anywhere else we've been — would be complete without a tune or two, so we've included a pair of old session favourites in our arrangement here. From: 'On The Rise', Temple TP021« ... and while I've got "Home Ground" in front of me, I'll type out the note as well: »Charlie McGettigan, an Irish friend of Alistair's wrote this homily to the "after hours" pint, in good company. The Band have thrown a few well loved "session" tunes to add to the atmosphere and Alan fondly makes use of the Ronnie Drewaphone, in his renidition of a few bars of "Whisky in the jar".«
