Coincidentally, when the Soft Boys played in Edinburgh in October 1980 our entire audience consisted of five US Marines who were tripping on acid. They enjoyed the show, they said, but counseled us: “Carter’s a pussy, man - we should nuke Iran.”

I would love to see JR again….. I seen him a few times in Europe in 80s but no sign of any Europe gigs

A brilliant interview…. I was always intrigued how he ended up doing such great things……. After 85…… I had to depend on mixtapes to keep up with Dublin…. The Internet filled in all the gaps…… I’m looking through the list to see what grabs me…… best

Wow so many coincidences .I just listened to the Compulsion episode..my going away party 1985 was at a ha'penny market gig with Nikki Sudden, The Golden Horde, The Gorehounds and Thee Amazing Colossal Men..I got the boat the next day....I think its near to where the Grand Social is today..great show

Iistened 9 WASSIES.AND STANO EPISODES......BOTH GREAT. WAS LATE TO THE WASSIES BUT BY THE TIME I LEFT DUBLIN IN 85 STANO WAS IN MY OPINION THE MOST ORIGINAL ARTIST FROM DUBLIN......I NEED TO CATCH UP ON LATER PROJECTS. MY 7INCH BY THE THREAT WAS FOUND IN COVID AND I WAS reunited with it in 2020

Hi Paul......i used to follow you on T******* but stopped a lot of online activity......I just looked at your Great Irish Albums and am delighted that Nine Wassies From Bainne and Stano made it in.....I have time on my hands now to go back and catch up...best wishes Bill

Absolutely ..........
