    Does anybody remember the three traveller kids who used to dance and sing on Grafton street back in the 80's. Another used to pretend to play a mouth organ, well when I say play, he hadn't got a note in his head. Infact none of them had a clue how to sing or dance or anything really. They were a panic. Anyway has anybody got any footage of them please .....

    Moved from After Hours.

    Presume it's Grafton Street in Dublin you're talking about OP, so I've moved it to Dublin City forum. Please ensure you read their charter before posting.

    I remember them, and I also remember the adult controller who lurked in the background.

    The controllees you see on the street these days are Travellers, and they are not children. They do not try to sing either.

    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

    Not your ornery onager
