Patrick Kavanagh’s Old Friends in McDaids Pub, Dublin City, Ireland 1967

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

My friends tell me that Patrick Kavanagh’ was a Wildman, a good man who had a special way with words, I would have loved to have met Patrick and had a chat with him about farming, life and poetry. I would also like to meet that very fine, wise and fine spoken poet of a man who spoke his mind towards the end of this video, this man was/is also a rare one, his own words explained what a very outspoken man he was/is

As a comment section we should all learn Irish.

[@markofsaltburn]

There are qualities of imagination, emotion, expression and being which seem peculiar to Irish men. Industrialisation instrumentalised the working men of England - my country - and our souls, by and large, were never allowed to evolve unless we either left or retreated into our own inner worlds of escape; everything we do has to have a point.

Most insightful observation.

Brendan Behan refered to him as "The monaghan w###er!

Ahhhhh, Kavanagh, McQuaid's great friend. He always had a great welcome for himself.

Could do with subtitles for the ignorant among us.

I have heard first hands stories about him being a dirty old man, carry-on which would get any modern day celebrity 'cancelled'...

[@markofsaltburn]

But a sweet soul he remains for all of that.
