- Saint Valentine’s Day music with The Golden Horde who perform ‘Friends In Time’ and bring a little romance to the streets of Dublin.
Short of cash, the band decides to busk on Grafton Street and perform their song ‘Friends In Time’. Having purchased the traditional Valentine’s Day chocolates and flowers, they are given to pedestrians on Grafton Street generating smiles and surprise in equal measure.
Lead singer Simon Carmody describes the band as,
A semi-mystical musical conglomerate based in equal parts around melody and creativity, and a certain moronic genius, I feel that this is something we created, it’s our own thing.
Where does Saint Valentine’s Day romance fit into all this? According to Carmody,
I feel that each person has an inner romance of the mind, they’ve got to feel in their own deeply personal and very intrinsically spiritual fashion, and we’re basically trying to bring that out in people...
The band moves on to Saint Stephen’s Green, where they meet Shay Healy, discover a message from a mysterious admirer, and are generous with their Cadbury’s Roses.
The Golden Horde are Simon Carmody, Peter O’Kennedy, Des O’Byrne, Sam Steiger and John Connor.
This report for ‘Evening Extra’ was broadcast on 20 February 1987.
‘Evening Extra’ was a nightly magazine programme which ran from Monday to Friday at 7 pm dealing with current issues and people in the news. The first episode was aired on Monday 13 October 1986 and it ran for 278 shows over 2 years until the final show on 29 April 1988. The programme had numerous presenters and reporters including Siobhan Cleary, Richard Crowley, Bibi Baskin, Aonghus McAnally and Shay Healy.

Just heard this song for the 1st time at the end of episode 8 of KIN cracking show and what a belter of a song look like my kinda band hope it gives them a second chance all these years later.
Ironically they kinda didn’t want to be commercially successful. Maybe thanks to Kin that’ll change.
Me too. A great track. Not sure it is this version though. Ronan Keating covered it and sounds more like what was featured in "Kin", a bit slower.
This is the version in Kin ruclips.net/video/ZzCWjXomrhc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Like Phil Spector in the studio with Ronnie and the Ramones
Sam it’s amazing ,love ❤this and totally agree
Heard it on Kin last night, hadn’t heard it in years, brought back a lot of memories, straightaway remembered the name of the band and that it featured Maria McKee and the Ronnie Specter style she brought to the vocals
I'd love to go back to 1987
Not me, hard times.
Wow, thank you RUclips! I never knew there was an earlier version, and with a video as well! Wonder if any of those girls remember getting flowers and sweets from lepping lunatics that day! Must have been Valentine's day 87
Interesting glimpse of Dublin back then. Post-Dandelion, pre-Stephen's Green shopping centre
I love this song, especially the version with Maria McKee on backing vocals.
Great times in Ireland . Sad to see it now .
Feck sake Frank! All ya had to do was wait another two minutes! 🤦
... I think Frank Kinsella would have wanted the Boyzone version played though. 😃
Frank finally grew some fuckin’ balls!
@@IamKevinFinnerty such a brilliant show, best thing on TV for ages. "I hear you off to somewhere sunny frank, somewhere sunny with lots of young tanned boys to suck your dick". I am going to miss his funny comments, maybe a little less on the See You Next Tuesdays though 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have never heard this song before, to my ears, it has got a very strong beetles sound and feel, It is very good, I like it a lot
More like a classic jagger/stones song....brilliant😁

Yeh, I can hear that too.
Love this song❤️🇮🇪
Never even knew this version of this song even existed.
Magnificent,
Lead singer was standing beside me at Croke park at ACDC , I didn't know until later on , I was in a box
Used to see him floating around every now and then. And what's the name of the fella from My Bloody Valentine? Him aswell, once in a while.
As I recall the Golden Horde were first on the bill on the greatest one day festival ever - Sunstroke 1993.
Don't forget 1994 too!!
Was it '95 when they moved it in doors?
@@FourteenWords-n4l I must have missed 94 (Sunstroke...not the full year). I think the indoor one at the RDS was grim - shit sound, no atmosphere. Wasted opportunity. Pity.
Never heard this version.
I didn't think the Grafton Streets kerbs were still there in 1987.. I thought the pavements and kerbs were all flattened by then.
brutal
Dublin was so cool in the late 80ties,today l hate it,lm glad l left it 30 years ago and found a new life in Munich,not that Munich is much better now a day's,maybe its me lm just getting older...thats life
Kip in late 80's!! 😂
No, nothing to do with you getting older. Probebly to do with all European cities being turned into unrecognisable slums.
Same melody as Ringo starr photograph
You have been looking in to my way of thinking and listening
