Yes, Read it a few years ago and enjoyed it too.
Wouldn't it be true to say that Liam concentrates on those years up to the time when the group got there big break in New York. In his early years Liam did not have anything much to do with his own brothers the late Tom, Paddy and Bobby much less Tommy Makem. Anyone who heard Liam's fulsome tribute to Makem after his recent death could not but realise how close the two had become. Liam himself said that they were like brothers.I saw them together at Paddy's funeral and there was no sign of anything other than affection and regard between them.
No, I suspect that, as we speak, Liam is busily scribbling away high up in his "garrett" over looking Dungarvan Bay, putting the finishing touches to Vol 2, at least I hope so.
I wonder if he rfemembers the night/morning when I,and others,attenmpted to invade his little cottage in Ring in order to hear the great Seamus Ennis ? Mind you , he had issued a fairly general invitation in Mooney's Pub at "closing" time but his sensible wife, Kim, managed to persuuade us to postpone our pilgrimage until a more courtly hour.
