There are more Brady tunes not included in the book (“The Slopes of the Longridge”), here’s one that some of us were discussing elsewhere sometime ago. It was pointed out the title is tongue in cheek as Tullamore Harbour would be something like the home port to the proverbial Swiss Navy…

Tullamore Harbour by John Brady

The harbour in Tullamore is a canal harbour. Lovely tune. Rest in peace, Johnny Brady.

Thanks ironhills ~ will have to check it out, with a hip flask of Tullamore Dew’s single malt, which also makes a really amazing Irish coffee…
