Liam Reilly RIP

[joer]

I was very sad to hear of the death of Liam Reilly , of Bagatelle. RIP
Great writer , great singer and great performer. With great songs like Second Violin, Trump Card and Summer in Dublin with the great lines
"So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoire, stopping off to pick up my guitar
And a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we wer"nt going too far.

Wonderful lyrics, and I was disappointed back in the day that his Eurovision entry Somewhere in Europe only came second.
RIP Liam.
