    Its a joy to see him arround Dublin in his fabulos Donegal Tweed suits by Norton and sons, and a visit to his home Lugagla in the Wicklow mountains is incredable the combination of aristo/dandy/patron of trad and rock and an increably beautiful Indian princess for a wife well its good that the blck stuff in a glass sells well all over the world from Nigeria to china,who said there wasnt oil in Ireland,only it comes in a pint glass with a creamy head
