Walk Tall by Val Doonican

“Dedicating this to my nephew in Perth, Oz who is 35 today, happy birthday Darren & a reminder, if I may on behalf of your dear mum back home, listen! Also like to dedicate this to the good people of England who took Val Doonican to heart and held one of us Irish in some esteem, though others sadly let us down, a big thank you! Though of an older generation I always loved Val's rendition of this song,enjoy! Air dheis Dé go raibh a anam dÍlis!”

One of my earliest memories of telly is watching Val Doonican with my grandparents and parents. Years later I put this track on a friend whose little boy had started toddling (Walk Tall y'see) and bizarrely it ended up being played a quite a cool party where the person playing it thought they were playing a Johnny Cash track. I put them straight. They looked aghast. Fun times. RIP Val Doonican.   3
