But what a pity Castle bar didn't see how much the punters loved the venue and the bands, as I recall they didn't hold many gigs there at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19694685.post-1161881322821559992006-10-26T17:48:00.000+01:002006-10-26T17:48:00.000+01:00Just been pointed in the direction of your site by...Just been pointed in the direction of your site by Siobhan Coughlan. Nice piece on Freewheelin Franklin - brought back memories. The photo was taken in the Stables at the back of the Old Castle Bar in 1990. The white acoustic guitar beside Vinny belonged to me but came to a sorry end a few weeks later in a bikers pub in Foxford when Vinny frustrated by the lack of enthusiasm from the punters decided to do a Jimi Hendrix, and smash it to pieces in the middle of a song!!!<BR/>I was a bit pissed off but you couldn't really stay mad at Vinny for any length of time and he did pay me for the guitar (eventually).<BR/>He developed quite a habit of announcing the demise of musicians prior to playing their songs, and always got a reaction - even when he managed to kill off 9 or 10 musical legends at 1 gig!!<BR/>A funny man, a great friend, sadly missed, fondly remebered.<BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/>Talk to you soon<BR/><BR/>Ciaran Mc<BR/>Ed's note Ciaran Mc was (bass guitarist of free wheelin' franklin)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19694685.post-1154050511473749222006-07-28T02:35:00.000+01:002006-07-28T02:35:00.000+01:00WOW!
