Quotes

Cronin says inspiration struck the previous night: "We were out the night before the recording, playing pool with Shane and discussing what we should do. Then Shane put David Bowie's Jean Genie on the jukebox. Listening, he put down his drink and said, that's how to do it. So it's The Dubliners picking upBowie's Jean Genie on The Rocky Road toDublin. It sounds mad but it works, and The Rockier Road toPoland was born!”"
But every so often Fearnley switches over to beautifully written prose. Here he describes his first encounter with The Dubliners: "older men, portly, moist of consonant. There was an air about them simultaneously of the sea and of the suburbs."
