I heard that our all dancing band westlife (or one of the them) are constructing one...... but then I found this

BMG Ireland announced today that Glenwood Rovers Duo, Colm Ward and Eamonn Dunne have been chosen to pen the lyrics for the Republic's World Cup Trip to Japan and South Korea. The pairs musical credits include the Paul McCartney/Stevie Wonder hit "Ebony and Ivory", Kate Bushe's "Wuthering Heights" and the Police's "Every breath you take". "We'll both remain 100% committed to the Glenwood cause, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that it is a great honour for the both of us", explained a jubilant Ward on TV3's breakfast show this morning.

god help us

BARD-Fair play to ya.Couldnt Remember that Venture one.Jesus I remember recording that in a ****ty little basement with the lads from Venture.Thought it was great at the time--famous for 15 minutes then heard the song ---God it was ****.But I was only just gone 19 and thought that this was it fame,fortune etc.
Jesus Ill have to buy that for nostalgia.

During Italia 90, I was in Spain on holiday, and on the morning of the Romania match- a Sunday I think- a group of 100 or so lads took over the hotel, and sang their heads off, and although-like all Irish abroad, drink WAS taken- they certainly weren't drunk, and created a BRILLIANT ATMOSPHERE, and when Dave O'Leary popped in the winning penalty, you could have heard the cheer on the other side of Spain!!!!!!!


PS

Getting back on topic, wasn't "Put 'em Under Pressure" Ireland's Number 1 for about 6 months???
