A tribute to Barney Mc Kenna

I know Barney loves the fishing and Howth. Everybody in the town buzzed off him. He also has two fishing boats which are in the photo's near the end. The sad thing about one of them the Daragh Liam is they have started to dismantle her. The footage and photo's have only been taken over the last few weeks. Last wednesday the 4th of april i got the footage of the trawler's heading back to Howth Harbour, to get in out of the weather. Barney this is for you, an Honorary Howth Man.

Barney was a genius banjo player. Thanks Barney for bringing the heart and soul to the Dubs.

Barney, hopefully you found your fiddlers green. I wish you a breeze and a good rolling sea for ever.

The Maestro of the Tenor Banjo has left us, but like all the Dubs lost to us, their music lives on.

Quite a sad song, i work in Howth, love to listen to the Dubliners while walking past the Abbey tavern, shame the royal is gone and the others, should never knock historic buildings down.
