Oh it's a classic. I'm not allowed to show it in certain areas in case "good people" are offended.

Not being all whataboutish but Gavin should take a wee look at the founding leaders of his own party.
The roots of the modern Troubles lie within that leadership.
Paisley has as much blood on his hands as Adams.

We'd all have been better served in life if it was.

Nirvana’s first Irish gig was in the Top Hat in Dun Laoghaire and was under 18s only

How have we not made a movie about this yet?

Harry Belafonte was some kind of civil rights/acting/singing superman. He also made a bunch of interesting albums in the late 60s and early 70s, donning his folk-rock cape. I've written about them on my Record Room page: www.patreon.com/bobstanley

I love this story so much! Does you see the RTÉ doc about it?

Yes but with added energy wastage and ego. Really horrible.

Full AI films with them acting out what they would do. Nightmarish.

Me too! 😂

Swear to god, NIs 60s scenes...

Ballymena had two cool moments. The Flamingo and the wife-swapping scandal of 1969.
Ballymena's Bacchanalia for sure.

Everyone played the Flamingo - Rolling Stones first NI gig, Pink Floyd for sure, Dave, Dee etc.

It's been brought to my attention that there are people who create AIs of historical moments & then insert themselves into them to "save the day" ie telling people in Pompeii about the volcano, trying to warn Anne B about Henry ("Hey girl, this dude...").
