I always wondered what ever happened to ” the liberty belles”…… as I used to go to talent contests in swords around the early 70′s …….and they were so good they used to win everything!!!
I remember every one of those songs and there was a young blondy girl that used to sing solo and she was brilliant!
It brings me back!!!

So happy to have found you…..I just put an item from Limerick up on Ebay and laughed my head off when I found out that what I thought was going to be a sweet Irish saying wound up being “made in Japan”

i remember this big tree with heads hanging from it, swaying as if there was wind… one of them being able to talk… and that head actually reacted to the children running around the tree… “i d like to have that pair of runners you ‘re wearing” … the children were gone in no time at all … hehe

I laughed when I came across this site – funny thing, I went to school with the kid in the ad! Yes, that icon of a generation who spoke those immortal words, “where’s Grandad?”. Needless to say all the kids in the school would give him a terrible slagging … and then run! (he had a mean right hook). I remember him being a fairly grumpy kid – but that’s the price of fame I suppose. No idea where he is now, the family moved away shortly afterwards – might have joined the RTE witness protection program.

Good to know this and my thanks for screening “Quackser Fortune.” One reason this resonates with me in a warm positive way is because I wrote the story and screenplay. Gbriel Walsh
