@johncreedon that song you played last night by #Galway band The Fuze is excellent and I've played it a good few times since https://youtu.be/nhGWNWqhkgI - I see on #Discogs that #DonalLunny produced the song too.. somehow I'd never heard of them before, despite living in Galway for 6 years in the late 90s.. better late than never! Thanks for introducing me to it John 👍
The fuze sunday morning, anything goes. '81
