    I was in Clonakilty for a weekend away with the girlfriend 4years ago. I remember when because it was when Ireland bet Wales to win the grand slam.

    But we were in one of the bars that evening and there was a band playing all Luke Kelly music. Now I remember they all stood out because they were young lads but the singer was a red hair lad with a beard who played the Banjo. He also happened to have a great voice and myself and my girlfriend had a great night there.

    Now we are getting married next year and I would love to track these lads down if they are still together and have them play. Im wondering if anyone here has any idea of who I am talking about????

    Saw a guy who is a ringer for Luke Kelly playing a banjo busking in Galway a few months ago, sounds like him.
