Well done and your voice so good
Unfortunately today it is invaded by unvetted migrants.
Watch your boys Brian Mcglynn on the loose.
Wow pedo Brian McGlynn enjoying being surrounded by kids.
Wow Bethany you looked so young
Just looking at the town where my family came from . Name of Quinn'sAn Aussie now.
Omg, I can't believe it. Just seen my childhood friend's Gareth, Darren and Gary at 9.20. I was born in Letterkenny and was moved to London at a very young age. Every year I went back and hung around with these kids. Amazing moment finding this, from around 30 years ago. Rory. (Rocks family, from The Old Town).
I was born in Letterkenny Hospital. My family were from the Old Town and some still live there. I was taken away at 3 years old to London but Letterkenny is still my favourite place on earth. I spent my holidays there as a kid and I plan to move back there in the next few years. So proud to say I'm from letterkenny. ❤🇮🇪
My town. I am proud of it.
Letterkenny was here long before the planters it was the set of the O'Cannon Clan whom were Chieftains of Tirconnell before the O'Donnell, Wolf Tone was here and this was always stated at laird Hotel, Letterkenny was and is the Gateway to the county that is why it became a successful not just a business hub, but much more. History has been told n tought in many ways retold, why is it people change it, is it to suit others but not the true people of the area that handed down the history over the generations locally.
There is absolutely no record of the O Cannon clan ( Of which I am descended) being anywhere near Letterkenny. The newspapers of the time state that Wolfe Tone was arrested in Buncrana.
I might just buy a copy, my roots are in letterkenny. Apparently our Kelly's came from Churchill, I believe. 👍
Great memories of days gone by.. Seeing family members playing in the. Band and especially my father John J Barclay whom past away in October 26th 2020. And others who has past on close friends and neighbours sadly missed. May they Rest In Peace.
Brilliant! Such happy fun times!
Great memories !
