    My wife and I came across Korey Power singing on Patrick Street, in front of Brown Thomas. A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to listen. He has a great voice!

    Yes, a gentleman in the background was dancing and enjoying the music too. Did a fine job of it!

  • Waiting for the Train in Chicago

    Waiting for the Train in Chicago

    Many years ago, in August 2003, I was waiting for the L in Chicago to bring me to work.

    Edit in 2024: I remembered this was Fullerton from the sign to the far right of the image, so I added it to Google Maps there. It looks like it’s the oldest photo for that station on there!

    Way back in 2012, The Human League played in Cork. Here’s a photo of singer, Susan Ann Sulley that night. Phil Oakey is to her right but I decided she should have the attention in this photo!

  • When did you last use a public phone?

    When did you last use a public phone?

    The public phones at the top of St. Patrick’s Street Cork are in a sorry state. Eircom, the original national phone company in Ireland, haven’t been known publicly as Eircom since 2015 according to the Eir Wikipedia page.

    They really should get rid of those eyesores.
