Subject: RE: Folklore: What is a lacheko
Hey Snadra, let us kno when u upload John Wexford Kiely's song to Utube.
I grew up in Mayo and Galway, and always the lads coming bak form London had the stories and songs about John Wexford Kiely and the Latchikos who worked as Navies in the smoke!

Whenevr i pass through Camden and Criklewood and Kilburn, i always hear a bit of the song in my head...

John Wexford Kiely will always be remembered in hearts of exiles...

We ar ein Sydeny now and i love to sing a bit of the song sometimes for all the paddeis - bondi is the new Krikelwood

Love

A
