Hi Ralph, if you would still like an EMI CD with those tracks on, you can still buy the double album, which is shown in the centre on our home page, and referred to as the 2 on 1 Album. It is a combining of the two LPs "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Irish And Proud Of It", currently for sale on ...

Thank you for letting us know about this, Graham. Using the BBC Listen Again feature, I have just been listening to it, and it is a very nice story. I remember that Ed Stuart played a Ruby record last year, so it seems we must bear him in mind for any future playings (although we must not overdo it,...

Hey Timmer - great to hear from you, and thank you for the kind words. I guess my appraisal this year will be OK, then? Do let us know how you are keeping, and what you are getting up to these days. We all owe a lot to you for starting this wonderful website, and for keeping it running. Many thanks ...

Thank you for that, Sandy. Nice to know the publicity has started well in advance of the ceremony. Although she wasn't born in Benburb Street, but Moltke Street - he will have to read my little story about the visit to Belfast.

It's getting quite exciting now!

Hello Kathleen, it is very good that you have decided to join us here. From the various TV tributes that your mum, Marie, has appeared in, it is very clear that there was a close bond between her and Ruby. I know she has not been too well of late, but I do hope you will both be able to join us for t...

Er, John, I did post a message! It was on the 18th January, and perhaps because nobody has replied to it, it has now drifted down the Index page. You perhaps were away when I did it.

Glad you like the story and the pictures.

In fact, the Ulster Hall is a different one from City Hall, and is in a street to the back of City Hall. If you would like to see a couple of photographs taken outside and inside the Ulster Hall, you will find them in the library under Stories, contained within my document of a visit to Belfast.

I have also now booked my flights, and two nights in Belfast (28th and 29th) so I am hoping that some more people will do the same so that the ceremony is a great event.

Thanks for that John. Good to see that they are selling all five CDs that are featured on the new Home Page.

The advice is - if you need any songs to add to your collection, you can find most of them on these five, and they are in the shops right now.
