THE UNFORTUNATE CUP OF TEA.

Written largely while holed up in seclusion in a rented cottage in Tipperary (not far from Longfield House), after months of touring Ireland, Britain and Europe (plus a bewildering visit to Canada and New York), the material and the presentation of The Unfortunate Cup Of Tea remains somewhat enigmatic. Just what was going on? No-one, least of all the band, can be absolutely sure.

It was during these surreal sessions that the band learned that drummer Eamon Carr had been nominated a Meath Personality of the Year along with Cheltenham Gold Cup and Aintree Grand National-winning jockey Tommy Carberry and Monsignor John Hanly (now a Bishop!) who had been Postulator of the cause of Ireland's then newest saint, Saint Oliver Plunkett.
