The picture of the pigeons caught my attention...they look like they are in perfect health...As a young boy around 12 year old i got interested in pigeons..Caught some stray ones and spent my 2/6 for a bird...I was unaware my father kept pigeons as a young man. He built a loft and we raced them ,it was a great time. i got to go to the club after races (also winter time was show time which was exciting as well) ,and we won a few i recall coming second from skibbereen young birds..This was just before the troubles really got going .After coming to australia in my early twenties when i had kids my boys got interested in pigeons so i built a loft and kept them till recently......Also i recall as a boy travelling the back roads in my county (Armagh) and seeing people playing bowls on the roads and wondering what was going on.Later in life i read that its a game played in Cork and Armagh...
This is pure gold....what a fantastic reflection of the essence of Cork...wonderful interviews and insights and best of all, told in lovely true, authentic Cork accents.
BEAUTIFUL HISTORY WELL DONE TO EVERYONE FOR KEEPING THIS HISTORY ALIVE TODAY. IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE HEAR THIS STORY AND ALL THE LOVELY NORTHSIDE SINGING VOICES AT THE END. THANK YOU
