For those of you who have just arrived onto my weird website, the site is one of personal tributes to
 Seán O'Casey,  Brendan Behan,  Flann O'Brien, and Rory Gallagher.  That's me up there, I've still to find a decent photo of myself. Thanks to the Archbishop of Dukinfield, Mr. Barry Barnes, for same! For those of you who have been here before, you won't be suprised to know that I've just received a rave review. So Doras will be getting loads of plugs on this website! To read the review, assert some pressure on the left clicky thing on your mouse NOW!I've received lots of hits, which has surprised me, so I'll DEFINETLY WILL be updating this regularly.
Some day soon this very website will have all the bells and whistles required to keep you here, and
subliminally convert you to everything that I'm interested in..........................................
Anyway, if anyone have some advice for me, Email me. mchughd@online.ie
 

Enjoy the site, I'll TRY TO update now and then. Hoping to have microsoft front page installed on my home PC, then I won't have to wait untill I use some one elses computer!!!!......

RORY GALLAGHER.
 Click here for a Rory site.

That's Rory up there, born in Ballyshannon in 1948. He's a Corkman though, so there's the sense of the Irish! Anyway Rory was THE Irish Bluesman. Sometimes I attempt to play guitar like this fellow. Maybe you've heard me before! The photo here was taken in the Cork Opera house in 1987. The gig was filmed by RTE(Little plug there!)
 
 

BRENDAN BEHAN.
Behan was the original hell-raiser. Spare me George Best or Alex Higgins, They wouldn't last 5 minutes drinking with Brendan! I'm from the same area as Behan, the famous Dublin 7 postcode. The picture here is from an excellent book called "Brendan Behan's Island, an Irish sketchbook", and was drawn
by Paul Hogarth. I picked the book up for 4 quid, and read it whilst sunning myself on a beach in Crete! It's an hilarious account of Behan's experiences Throughout Ireland. According to Behan the four provinces of Ireland were: "Dublin, Cork, The Country, and The North!"  What more can I say???
                  Not very much I suppose, as you'll find out if you click!

FLANN O' BRIEN.
  To find out more about Flann on the net, click here.

Brian O' Nolan, Myles na gCopaleen, Flann O' Brien. How many psuedonyms can a writer have???  Well when you come up with the kind of stuff that Flann was coming up with, it's no surprise that you could have split personalities!!! According to Sergeant Fottrell in O' Brien's book "The Dalkey Archive", prolonged contact with bicycles can turn the rider into part bicycle, part man! The "mollycules" are interchangeable. I hope to start a page of this website dedicated to "Keats and Chapman" (If you don't know what I'm talking about, then beg, borrow or steel a copy of "The Best Of Myles")
                       If you want to find out a bit about Flann, then you could do a lot better than this!

SEAN O' CASEY.
  To find out more about this picture, click here.

"Admiring O'Casey is impertinent" said Behan, "It is like admiring the lakes of Killarney!" O'Casey in my opinion was the greatest writer of his generation. Everyone knows about masterpieces like "Juno And The Paycock" "Shadow Of A Gunman", and "The Plough And The Stars", but O'Casey's true talent emerges in later works like "The Silver Tassie", "Purple Dust" , and "Red Roses For Me", not to mention his SIX VOLUMES of Autobiographies. The above painting was done by an artist called Augustus John.
                                          My new O'Casey page is here.
 

 This site contains all the Irish history you'll ever need. And some of you need it!
