Thread Name: Obit: Dermot O'Brien (22 May 2007)
Subject: RE: Obit: Dermot O'Brien.
Sad to hear of this. he wrote Dublin Town In 1962 , had a big hit with 'The Merry Ploughboy' and was the only man ever to win two all Ireland medals in the same day, one for playing the accordion , and one for playing football for Louth. Dermot had a mighty impact on the folk/ballad scene in Ireland from the 60s.
Rest in peace Dermot. [turfman from Ardee]
