ESSLINGEN meeting

[Dora]

are you writing a novel about a gig?

So what?

 

[Dora]

hey Duncan, about your new tattoo.. This chick with the harp is some symbol of Ireland innit? So are you Irish or not? How is that? Mick said you weren't.

 

[Susie]

he's not dora, and i think the harp is for other reasons which i'm sure he'll explain that anyway

 

[Strangelight]

The harp is the old Erin Go Bragh symbol like, which was used a lot by Irish emigrants. Me dad is from Dublin and me mums side is from Navan. And I feel much more at home here than England. And, no its not some Jimmy McBlarney thing where I walk around with "Ive got Irish roots" baseball cap, its in me blood like.

 

[Dora]

I thought just the same... then why all these mates of you deny your being Irish?! Didn't you tell them?

 

[Strangelight]

I forgot to add that the place where I got it done, in L.A. was ran by two fellers who were sons of Irish emigrants from Derry. So it was a nice coincidence like. We all sat around smiling, dressed as leprechauns, drinking pints of Guinness that we didnt really like, and listening to The Dubliners greatest hits and pretending we were all from Athenry
