Prince in concert
Incredibly sad news today about Prince.
So many shocks this year but this one ranks along Bowie, at least for me.
If I had to pick one song by Prince – Money Don’t Matter 2 Night
Frank Kelly has been a cultural presence almost all of my life. He was a character on Hall’s Pictorial Weekly in the 1970’s slurping tea from a saucer with Eamon Morrissey. If I was too young to understand the political commentary behind the sketches, it was memorable to an impressionable young boy with only one television channel to watch.
Later on, there was Father Ted of course.
But one of my favourite performances of Frank Kelly is in the short film where he has a small cameo part Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom
A true genius! He had a difficult time in the last few years but he did produce magic with the others in Earth, Wind & Fire.
Here is one of the best – Let’s Groove
Just heard that David Bowie has died. Two of my favourites.
