0:00:23 > 0:00:24# My name is Dan
0:00:24 > 0:00:25# Sure I'm your man. #
0:00:39 > 0:00:41THEY SING IN IRISH
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# That was once upon a time
0:00:49 > 0:00:54# Now we never seem to rock and roll any more. #
0:01:56 > 0:02:00# I've a nice little cot and a small bit of land
0:02:00 > 0:02:03# In a place by the side of the sea
0:02:05 > 0:02:09# And I care about no-one because I believe
0:02:09 > 0:02:13# There's nobody cares about me
0:02:13 > 0:02:17# My peace is destroyed and I'm fairly annoyed
0:02:17 > 0:02:22# By a lassie who works in the town
0:02:22 > 0:02:26# She sighs every day as she passes the way
0:02:26 > 0:02:30# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34# Do you want your old lobby washed down, Con Shine?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42# She sighs every day as she passes the way
0:02:42 > 0:02:46# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51# The other day the old landlord came by for his rent
0:02:51 > 0:02:54# I told him no money I had
0:02:55 > 0:03:00# Besides, t'wasn't fair for to ask me to pay
0:03:00 > 0:03:03# The times were so awfully bad
0:03:04 > 0:03:08# He felt discontent at not getting his rent
0:03:08 > 0:03:11# And he shook his big head with a frown
0:03:12 > 0:03:16# Says he, "I'll take half," but says I with a laugh
0:03:16 > 0:03:20# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Who's going to sing? Come on.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25# Do you want your old lobby washed down, Con Shine?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33# Says he, "I'll take half," but says I with a laugh
0:03:33 > 0:03:37# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50# Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courting
0:03:50 > 0:03:53# They seem to be so very shy
0:03:55 > 0:03:57# As to kiss a young maid
0:03:57 > 0:03:59# Sure they seem half afraid
0:03:59 > 0:04:03# But they would if they could on the sly
0:04:03 > 0:04:07# But me, I do things in a different way
0:04:07 > 0:04:10# I don't give a nod or a frown
0:04:12 > 0:04:15# When I go to court, I says, "Here goes for sport!"
0:04:15 > 0:04:19# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24# Do you want your old lobby washed down, Con Shine?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33# When I go to court I says, "Here goes for sport!"

0:04:56 > 0:04:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:05 > 0:05:09It is wonderful to be up here in Newry for Opry an Iuir.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13And of course I came up today all the way from County Roscommon
0:05:13 > 0:05:16so I'm going to sing you one of my great Roscommon songs.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25# Oh, the lambs were playing in the fields
0:05:25 > 0:05:28# The tulips were in flower
0:05:28 > 0:05:31# When I left the home I love so well
0:05:31 > 0:05:34# I ne'er forget the hour
0:05:34 > 0:05:39# Before me was the Atlantic waves to a home in Tennessee
0:05:39 > 0:05:42# And I left behind me the girl I loved
0:05:42 > 0:05:45# She's the rose of Castlerea
0:05:45 > 0:05:47# She may not have been a beauty queen
0:05:47 > 0:05:50# She might never be a rose
0:05:50 > 0:05:55# But to me she is the fairest flower that in the garden grows
0:05:56 > 0:06:02# Although I'm in America across the Atlantic Sea
0:06:02 > 0:06:05# Sure I'll always love my Roscommon girl
0:06:05 > 0:06:07# She's the rose of Castlerea
0:06:07 > 0:06:10# It's many the night that I lie in bed
0:06:10 > 0:06:13# My thoughts so fondly go
0:06:13 > 0:06:15# To the lovely days when I walk my love
0:06:15 > 0:06:19# On the road out by Knockroe
0:06:19 > 0:06:21# Her smiling face, her shining hair
0:06:21 > 0:06:24# Was a joy for all to see
0:06:24 > 0:06:30# Was a cruel old day that I went away from you and Castlerea
0:06:30 > 0:06:32# She may not have been a beauty queen
0:06:32 > 0:06:35# She might never be a rose
0:06:35 > 0:06:40# But to me she is the fairest flower that in the garden grows
0:06:42 > 0:06:46# Although I'm in America across the Atlantic Sea
0:06:46 > 0:06:49# Sure, I'll always love my Roscommon girl
0:06:49 > 0:06:52# She's the rose of Castlerea
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Hey!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02# I opened up the Roscommon Herald
0:07:02 > 0:07:05# I'd just received today
0:07:05 > 0:07:08# For to read about my native town
0:07:08 > 0:07:11# And my friends so far away
0:07:11 > 0:07:13# But the tears began to blind me
0:07:13 > 0:07:15# As I glanced across page three
0:07:16 > 0:07:19# At a picture of her wedding day
0:07:19 > 0:07:22# Of the rose of Castlerea
0:07:23 > 0:07:27# Farewell to you, Roscommon, from Kilvoy
0:07:27 > 0:07:29# To the Shannon shore
0:07:29 > 0:07:31# Farewell to Boyle and Frenchpark
0:07:31 > 0:07:35# I'll never see you more
0:07:35 > 0:07:40# The cotton fields near Memphis must remain a home for me
0:07:40 > 0:07:43# But I'll always love my Roscommon girl
0:07:43 > 0:07:46# She's the rose of Castlerea
0:07:46 > 0:07:48# She may not have been a beauty queen
0:07:48 > 0:07:51# She might never be a rose
0:07:51 > 0:07:57# But to me she is the fairest flower that in the garden grows

0:08:16 > 0:08:19HE VOCALISES
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Brendan Shine, ladies and gentlemen.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31How about that?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Fantastic. How about that?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15No matter where I go I always feel that I'm an Athlone man
0:09:15 > 0:09:17and a South Roscommon man.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I've travelled everywhere but I've always lived here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And this has always been home to me.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37That was a complete ceili.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41After being so long in the business like I am it's great to be
0:09:41 > 0:09:43recognised in your own land.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01# Do you want your old lobby washed down, Con Shine?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05# Do you want your old lobby washed down?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09When we were very young, Dad was in the charts all the time.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13You sat around the radio every Sunday morning after mass.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Do you remember that? You'd be having your sausages
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and brown bread. You'd be listening to Larry Gogan to see,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20"Is Dad was going to be number one again?"
0:10:20 > 0:10:23No Irish artist has ever had 25 hits before.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And it's our great pleasure on Radio 2 to present you with
0:10:26 > 0:10:28a silver disk to mark the occasion.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Congratulations to you. - Thanks very much.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Many more of them.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45# Just like a candle blown out in the wind. #
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It was very exciting as children.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51We got to live in a very adult world.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57# Oh, Lord, it's so hard to be humble... #
0:11:07 > 0:11:10# Cos you're better looking each day
0:11:10 > 0:11:11To know me.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16# To know me is to love me. #
0:11:16 > 0:11:17It was part of our life, I suppose.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We sat on the side and watched him performing and the cameras
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and we knew we had to be on our best behaviour
0:11:23 > 0:11:24when the camera light went on.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35CHEERING
0:11:38 > 0:11:4345 hit singles in 50 years. There's not many singers that can say that.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46When you pick your songs, do you use certain writers or how do you
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- find the songs?- I was very, very lucky down through the years.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I met some wonderful song writers.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Of course, I'm a farmer and I always have me ear to the ground
0:11:54 > 0:11:56and I'm always thinking of what people like
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and I did songs like Where the Three Counties Meet about my home place,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Longford-Westmeath and Roscommon.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I sang songs about spuds and carrots.- You did.- I did.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- So I'm never too far from the ground.- Fantastic.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I suppose when you look at 50 years there are so many highlights.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Hard to pick but could you tell us
0:12:13 > 0:12:15a few that have meant something to you?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Well, of course probably my first ever number one in 1971,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20O'Brien Has No Place To Go.
0:12:20 > 0:12:241979 was another great mark in my life
0:12:24 > 0:12:26when the Pope came to Ireland
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and I had Do You Want Your Old Lobby Washed Down
0:12:28 > 0:12:31and when he was leaving Shannon Airport the brass band played
0:12:31 > 0:12:33when he was going out to the plane they played
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Do You Want Your Old Lobby Washed Down.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40He looked around and that's the reason he never came back, I'd say.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44And recently a young man called Dermot O'Leary who presents
0:12:44 > 0:12:47The X Factor came out with his book
0:12:47 > 0:12:49and said Catch Me If You Can was one of his great inspirations
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and that, to me, was probably one of the greatest accolades of all.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56A young man in his position would think that something I did
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- along the line was worthwhile. - Absolutely.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01When you're not playing the music or doing shows,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- what do you like to do away from the stage?- I'm a farmer.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I've always been a farmer and making the joke about the carrots,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I used to grow carrots. I farm.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12We have an Angus farm in South Roscommon.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17We produce Angus beef. And the best beef that you can eat is Angus beef.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Especially if it comes from South Roscommon.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22There's nothing like a plug for your own.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23APPLAUSE
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- As we say up at home, every dog barks at its own door.- That's right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42# Now, Dennis O'Brien had three daughters fine
0:13:42 > 0:13:45# The fairest young girls on the block
0:13:46 > 0:13:51# And between you and me every night after tea
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# To O'Brien's the boys they would flock
0:13:55 > 0:14:00# When young Mickey Clancy steps in to see Nancy
0:14:00 > 0:14:02# Tim McCarthy steps in to see Rose
0:14:04 > 0:14:08# And when young Mickey Kelley steps in to see Nell
0:14:08 > 0:14:13# With a plea to her father she'd go
0:14:13 > 0:14:18# Don't go into the front room, Dad
0:14:18 > 0:14:22# Nancy's in there with her caller
0:14:22 > 0:14:26# Daddy dear, won't you stay out here
0:14:26 > 0:14:30# Rose has her friend in the parlour
0:14:31 > 0:14:35# Don't go into the kitchen, Dad
0:14:35 > 0:14:38# I'll be out there with my beau
0:14:39 > 0:14:43# And since all of these girls have got steady young men
0:14:43 > 0:14:46# O'Brien has no place to go
0:14:57 > 0:15:01# Last Saturday night O'Brien got tight
0:15:01 > 0:15:05# And he said to himself, now we'll see
0:15:05 > 0:15:07# And if three young galoots
0:15:07 > 0:15:10# Dressed up in new suits
0:15:10 > 0:15:13# Make a wandering fool out of me
0:15:15 > 0:15:18# Out went McCann on O'Brien's brogue and
0:15:18 > 0:15:22# Mickey Kelley and Clancy felt sore
0:15:23 > 0:15:27# They went over the stoop like an acrobat's troupe
0:15:27 > 0:15:31# So O'Brien will hear this no more
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Everybody, now!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36# Don't go into the front room, Dad
0:15:36 > 0:15:41# Nancy's in there with her caller
0:15:41 > 0:15:45# Daddy dear, won't you stay out here
0:15:45 > 0:15:50# Rose has her friend in the parlour
0:15:50 > 0:15:54# Don't go into the kitchen, Dad
0:15:54 > 0:15:58# I'll be out there with my beau
0:15:58 > 0:16:03# Now, since all of his girls have got steady young men
0:16:03 > 0:16:07# O'Brien has no place to go
0:16:07 > 0:16:11# And since all of his girls have got steady young men
0:16:11 > 0:16:15# O'Brien has no place to go. #

0:36:10 > 0:36:14# Like diamonds on the dew
0:36:14 > 0:36:18# Fresh and fair and dainty
0:36:18 > 0:36:22# As he pressed them to his heart
0:36:23 > 0:36:28# He smiled and said where'er he'd roam
0:36:28 > 0:36:31# From them he ne'er would part
0:36:32 > 0:36:37# A soldier boy lay dying
0:36:37 > 0:36:40# Upon the cold, cold ground
0:36:41 > 0:36:45# A bunch of withered violets
0:36:46 > 0:36:49# Upon his breast was found
0:36:50 > 0:36:53# Turning to his comrades

0:37:09 > 0:37:13# They took the withered violets back
0:37:13 > 0:37:16# It being on her wedding day
0:37:17 > 0:37:21# An old man's gold had won her
0:37:21 > 0:37:26# From her soldier far away

0:38:42 > 0:38:48And it's a lovely song called Far, Far Away.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Here we go.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09# When night-time is falling
0:39:09 > 0:39:12# And dreams they are calling
0:39:13 > 0:39:17# Me back to my youth
0:39:17 > 0:39:19# The land of my roots
0:39:20 > 0:39:24# Where I started scheming
0:39:24 > 0:39:28# Some day to be leaving
0:39:28 > 0:39:32# But now I am dreaming
0:39:32 > 0:39:34# Far, far away
0:39:36 > 0:39:39# Far, far away
0:39:39 > 0:39:42# My plans, they did take me
0:39:44 > 0:39:45# Far, far away
0:39:47 > 0:39:50# My land, how could I forsake thee?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55# Will I ne'er see thee more?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58# You sweet Eireann shore
0:39:58 > 0:40:03# Will I ne'er in the comfort of you sleep?
0:40:14 > 0:40:20# When morning is breaking and my heart is aching
0:40:21 > 0:40:28# With longing to be back across the sea
0:40:29 > 0:40:33# Where my thoughts did wander
0:40:33 > 0:40:36# But never did wonder
0:40:36 > 0:40:40# Just what I might squander
0:40:40 > 0:40:44# Being far, far away
0:40:44 > 0:40:48# Far, far away
0:40:48 > 0:40:51# My plans they did take me
0:40:52 > 0:40:54# Far, far away
0:40:55 > 0:40:59# My land, how did I forsake thee?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02# Will I ne'er see thee more?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06# You sweet Eireann shore

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Emily and Phillipa Shine.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- Hip-hip! CROWD:- Hooray!
0:41:42 > 0:41:43- Hip-hip!- Hooray.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44- Hip-hip.- Hooray.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50There was loads of dancing
0:41:50 > 0:41:52and fun in all those great clubs
0:41:52 > 0:41:54around London and all over the world.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57So I'm going to do a song from my 50th anniversary.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01I picked this song. It's one called There's the Door.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17# I wandered in round midnight
0:42:17 > 0:42:19# Like I've done so many times
0:42:19 > 0:42:22# She was sitting at the table
0:42:22 > 0:42:25# There were no tears in her eyes
0:42:26 > 0:42:30# It seemed so much unlike her
0:42:30 > 0:42:32# To be so much at ease
0:42:33 > 0:42:35# She took a sip of coffee
0:42:35 > 0:42:38# And softly said to me
0:42:40 > 0:42:46# There's the mantle where we keep our wedding pictures
0:42:47 > 0:42:53# There's the bedroom where we made both love and war
0:42:53 > 0:42:58# And there's the ring that keeps on slipping off your finger
0:42:59 > 0:43:06# There's no reason we should go on any more
0:43:08 > 0:43:10# And there's the door
0:43:18 > 0:43:22# Well, I'm back here on this bar stool
0:43:22 > 0:43:25# My whole world's gone to hell
0:43:25 > 0:43:28# Behind the bottles there's a mirror
0:43:28 > 0:43:31# Where a fool can see himself
0:43:31 > 0:43:35# If I was the man I should be
0:43:35 > 0:43:38# And not the one I am
0:43:38 > 0:43:41# I would go back there this minute
0:43:41 > 0:43:44# And beg for one more chance
0:43:46 > 0:43:51# There's the jukebox where I've wasted all those quarters
0:43:52 > 0:43:56# There's a lady trying to get me out on the floor
0:43:58 > 0:44:03# And there's a chance the one I love could still forgive me
0:44:05 > 0:44:10# That's a step that I have never took before
0:44:14 > 0:44:16# And there's the door
0:44:21 > 0:44:26# And there's the door. #
0:44:29 > 0:44:31APPLAUSE
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Hiya, Brendan, Charlie Landsborough.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42The last time we met was in Malaga Airport in Spain.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46Always good to see you, mate. And 50 years in the business.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49Only the best things last, mate, and you're one of the best things.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Congratulations, Brendan, you're a gem. God bless you, mate.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06Hi, Brendan. Congratulations on your 50 years in the music business.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08You've had a fantastic career and I wish you many,
0:45:08 > 0:45:11many more years to come. And see you soon.
0:45:29 > 0:45:30- Aidan?- Lynette?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00# Where did you meet her?
0:47:00 > 0:47:02# I met her in the Galtymore
0:47:02 > 0:47:04# In the Galtymore in Cricklewood
0:47:04 > 0:47:07# I asked her for a dance and she said she would
0:47:07 > 0:47:09# The band called an oldie called In The Mood
0:47:09 > 0:47:12# I met her in the Galtymore. #
0:47:18 > 0:47:22- How are you doing? - Nice to meet you again.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25You brought the good weather with you anyway.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28I brought the good weather with me. The reason why you appeal to me
0:47:28 > 0:47:31is because you really seem to be enjoying what you're doing.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Your whole heart is in it.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38Well, I'm over 50 years and people say to me,
0:47:38 > 0:47:42"Do you ever think or retiring or think of giving it up?"
0:47:42 > 0:47:45I never think about that because, you know,
0:47:45 > 0:47:5050 years it's been a long, long road but a very short distance.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54I can remember when I started as if it was only yesterday.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57So, it's been a wonderful life in music.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00I've met some wonderful people along the way, like yourself.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02And hopefully I'll meet a lot more.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05I'd like to dedicate this song to the lovely Aidan Sharkey.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08My friend who couldn't be with us tonight.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12I want to know if anybody is with your partner down there tonight
0:48:12 > 0:48:14I just want you to think of where you met.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17It's called Where Did You Meet Her?
0:48:26 > 0:48:31# Me name is Matt from Dublin and I'm living in London Town
0:48:31 > 0:48:34# I searched all around for a girl of my own
0:48:34 > 0:48:36# But there wasn't a one to be found
0:48:36 > 0:48:39# Then I went to a dance on a Saturday night
0:48:39 > 0:48:41# I had a little drink and I felt just right
0:48:41 > 0:48:44# Was my first time there in me whole damn life

0:51:34 > 0:51:36# On the avenue
0:51:39 > 0:51:43# Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too
0:51:43 > 0:51:45# Blue jeans and blue suede shoes
0:51:45 > 0:51:47# And we never knew
0:51:49 > 0:51:52# What life held in store
0:51:53 > 0:51:59# We just wanted to rock and roll forevermore
0:52:02 > 0:52:06# We were the rock and roll kids
0:52:06 > 0:52:09# Rock and roll was all we did
0:52:09 > 0:52:14# Listening to those songs on the radio
0:52:18 > 0:52:20# I was yours and you were mine
0:52:22 > 0:52:25# But that was once upon a time
0:52:25 > 0:52:29# Now we never seem to rock and roll any more

0:52:44 > 0:52:47# Around us no more
0:52:49 > 0:52:53# Golden oldies but we hardly speak
0:52:53 > 0:52:56# Too busy running to a different beat
0:52:56 > 0:52:59# Hard to understand
0:52:59 > 0:53:02# We were once like them
0:53:04 > 0:53:08# How I wish we could find those rock and roll days again
0:53:13 > 0:53:16# We were the rock and roll kids
0:53:16 > 0:53:20# Rock and roll was all we did
