There was an amazing sense of nostalgia as I had dinner in this relatively new restaurant on the main street in Loughrea. The building was originally a private house owned by the O’Loughlin family and on many, many, nights in the early seventies I practised all my best moves and chords as we played hits by people like Rory Gallagher, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and many more in what we thought was the best rock band on the planet.

Is it just me or are the years flying by quicker than ever? Even the advent of that nasty word 'recession' wasn't enough to slow down the hands of time and the year 2008 has already had its day in the sun (or rain) and a new year is dawning.
