Fantastic article by An Capall in today's Irish Examiner.
If it had been published Saturday everyone would think it was an April Fools article.
Well worth a read, can someone with the knowhow out up a link please ?
Many thanks.

One wonders how one who writes so well can't type a post longer than two sentences on here unless he's begging for digs at Cheltenham.

A very interesting story. Good stuff An Capall.
Is @colmgreaves you on Twitter? You should promote the brand more rather than me doing it.
A fascinating story beautifully told.
Great stuff, AC.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
When I seen that An Capall had struck again, I had much more sinister ideas in my head. In my defence, I have met the man....

ha yes. Met as well and had similar impressions
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Nice work, Colm.

Thanks Colm. Wonderfully researched and written.
Tip: If you lean on a parade ring rail with Edgt you never know what kind of tale or character you might run into.
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.

There's a few books in there between you I'd suggest.
And a few empty glasses. Nice work, AC.

The older I get the better I was.
Well done, great piece of storytelling. And as you say, edgt has a great fund of tales to get you started.

I was at a wedding yesterday and the wedding band had a drummer who had more than a passing resemblance to An Capall and the guitarist Grasshopper.
The band's name; "The Controversial All Stars !"
An ideal band for the Talking Horses Chicken Supper and Dance whenever that may be .
Will bring my earplugs

Weird.
Usually it's the pluggos on drums (out the back and darkly-lit), with the studs weilding the axe out front.
