This always had a different name depending on the nearest river ...... when they played Sligo a few weeks before this , Swarbs titled it "The Bridge over the Garavogue" ...... we were so chuffed that the band had composed a tune specifically for the occasion :)12 years ago

Unbelievable that this and your other "Ainsdale Videos" were even filmed let alone survive! And to have found someone who thinks they're important enough to post to the public ( at least until some "suit" discovers them and decides they're too valuable to offer for free)? Much as I loved Sandy, whenever her star shone, all the other talent was in her shadow! Perhaps there are others who think so as well ? Sir Patrick, you are truly the King of The Convention!13 years ago

Swarb is as ever magical. A brilliant musician, he's still going today albeit acoustic only due to bad hearing.13 years ago

@DieselChief it's a viola, which is larger than a violin and pretty uncomfortable to play because of that... plus, he wasn't trained to play one. this'd probably be why. saw them do this one in 1979 on the farewell tour... he'd gotten more comfy by then ;)14 years ago

Simon Nicol looks really uncomfortable playing the violin... Pegg looks as cool as ever! =) Great clip!Related Videos
