Derry is in my soul, you see,I was born there,went to school there,I was a (home boy) ST JOSEPHS HOME TERMONBACCA, DERRY HAS NEVER LEFT ME, I'M NOW 77 AND THINK OF DERRY EVERY DAY,I CAN STILL SEE IN MY MIND THE FISHERMEN IN THE FOYLE GOING UP AND DOWN IN THE RIVER, IT WAS HAPPY DAYS THERE, AND THE BUSSES LINED UP FOR THE MAY PROSESSIONS,I EVEN PLAYED TROMBONE IN THE BOYS BAND IN THE STREETS OF DERRY, I OFTEN WONDER DO THEY STILL DO IT. J.C.

My grandma grew up on Long Tower St. The McCarron family. She married and became a Kearney and lived in Ardmore where my Mum, Sarah Kearney was born. We played this song at Mum's funeral in 2020.

We were Bogsiders and a proud community,times were tough but so were we .The resilience we had has been passed down to our children and that's what matters,we have never been beaten,never bowed,never broken and as my 85 year old mother used to say when faced with adversity as she shook her fist "I will fight with anybody" that is what makes us Bogsiders,we didn't ask for trouble but we never shrank from it when it came our way either and when you make friends with us you have friends for life.

More people should watch this, the pictures and the song are amazing, the older lady at the start, with a big smile. They didn’t really know what was coming “The Armoured cars” “the soldiers by the wall” as the song says. Really touched me. I hope and pray that Derry and all of the north stays at peace and we get some of those smiles back again

I remember the Wells especially the Star snooker hall and the wee card school room at the back where they also kept the coal for the big wood burner , Johnny Boy who owned it would give me the key to open it and I’d go in , clean the tables and light the fire when I should have been in class at St Columbs but I was working on my masters on dobbing, how to raise greyhounds ( used to look after O’Hara’s many greyhounds in his big yard on the old Bogside street) and being a successful punter in Grahams bookies . 😉. Being an entrepreneur of sorts I made a few bob taking lead off the chimneys when the old Bog was being knocked down, copper was also a good price then too and £3 for a load of copper wire and lead was a good afternoon’s return back then for a 15 year old , many happy days spent around the Bogside area, PJ Kelly’s fish n chips was a tasty treat , Jimmy Macari’s on William street was a great place to hang out and play the juke box and one lad was nicknamed Sugar Sugar , a song by the Archies because that’s all he played , 😂. I remember Anton Rogers , everyone said he took the finger off the Gov Walker statue with a slate as he was a deadly thrower , obviously long before it was toppled unceremoniously, great times and of course some very sad times but our common experiences made us proud and resilient Bogsiders always 💪🏻🇮🇪.

I used to sell the newspaper 'Ireland's Saturday Night'. We'd go into the Elephant Bar, Bishop Street near Bishop's Gate. Edit - We would wait as late as possible before going into the bars to sell our papers. We reasoned that the more bottles of stout they'd consumed the more tips we'd get !

Phil Cunningham on Facebook. My Granny lived up around the corner from Orchard Row and my mother knows a lot of people who lived there. I remember when there were only two families left on that street. It was condemned but people were reluctant to leave. I used to play in the abandoned houses. We'd catch pigeons along the backs.

Hello Nechtan many thanks for your reply. I lived in the Orchard during WWII with my grandmother and two maiden aunts in number 16. Their name was Mitchell. I remember that the Thornton's lived up at the corner of the Orchard. Must have been near-neighbours of your Granny. What was your grandmother's name? Thanks for your information. I am going to follow up on it. Brian
