Brian Coll has never been fully recognised as one of the great pioneers of Irish country music. Any time he came to Kilkenny or the nearby counties, I went to see him and chatted with him after the show. He was totally unassuming and had a wide knowledge of American country music and its Scots/Irish origins. I also met him while on holidays with my wife and kids in The Isle Of Mann, and to my great surprise, he told me of his avid interest in motorbikes and had come to watch the TT races that weekend. There should be an annual Brian Coll music festival in honour of The Man From Omagh , and as Ulster is the cultural capital of Irish country music , it deserves to have a museum to honour the many great artists that have come from that part of Ireland.
Irish music delights the heart. We don't want any suffering on our beautiful planet. Let love into your heart. Don't we have enough suffering? Only love can change a person.
Eu amo esse país pela cultura, pelas pessoas que conheci, pela música e tudo mais. Nunca estive lá apenas fiz uma escala no Aeroporto de Shannon. Sei que eles tem preconceito contra brasileiros mas isso não me afeta.
In Jungian terms (the psychologist Carl Jung), England saw Ireland as its Shadow; Ireland’s spontaneity, exuberance, and joy of life as the opposite of its own stiff-lipped miserable up-tightness. The Scots settlers in the North are the epitome of miserableness, the polar opposite of the Irish spirit, as were the settlers in the U.S. May they be healed. Much love to Ireland.
