    This song was played in Germany at the Žekeznica station in the city of Cologne, and in 2012 I went with my mother from Serbia as an asylum seeker and I heard this song for the first time at that place in the train station, it stayed in my memory and I found it every time I play this song, I go back to my childhood and my life abroad, and I have always loved great Brotania because of good music and good beer. I am currently playing the guitar and I am working to play this song so that the villagers can hear what good music is. Happy new year 2024 and I love all good people who love imelda may

    Just love Imelda May! This song has a special meaning to me. My Irish born Uncle Atty McCrann raised his family in Kentish Town. I was lucky to visit them in 1970. Their "local" was The Abbey - my first introduction to a real Pub, having been raised Stateside in Boston. I purchased my first ever pint at The Abbey Tavern - it was Harp Larger - and I was the ripe old age of 15. Love this song and its memories of Kentish Town and my beautiful family in London.

    What an insightful biographical song about hardships and the trials a couple has when they hit rock bottom and rise like a phoenix because of their love and belief in one another. "True perseverance is measured... When after many years one can look back and realized that the person next to you is looking back with you...[Still!]" -David R.

    I was raised in Kentish Town and my family have lived here since 1962 when it was a heavily Irish (and Greek Cypriot) area. Used to go to the Forum when it was an ABC cinema (saw Zulu there!) before it became an Irish dance hall and then a rock venue. The old fella with the beard near the beginning (0:18) is Ken. Anyone who goes to Mario's in Kelly Street will know him. Love NW5
