The day Sean's brother in law was born a German bomb dropped on their street. Did Barry McGuigan's father sing with The Skyrockets or The Big Four?

The day Sean's brother in law was born a German bomb dropped on their street. Did Barry McGuigan's father sing with The Skyrockets or The Big Four? Mickey in Omagh says he played in the Big Four (and the Big Eight) but not The Skyrockets because their singer was a man who went to Australia. What kind of a word is 'pohil'? How is it even spelled? Is it the same as 'dohil'? No, says Paddy in Dungiven. Dohill is short for dunghill. 'Pohil' means an awkward person. Despite being a boxing fan, Sean has never been in a boxing ring. Music from The Move, Abba, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong, Dave Clark Five, Tony Bennett and more.
