CD single number 4, in The Ticket (a weekly entertainment supplement with The Irish Times).

This is a tradcore ballad about the rare oul' times, when you could buy a nodge of top rocky with no hassle and still have change for Rizlas. Imagine Danny Doyle playing Woodstock - Jaysus!

(out of a possible 5)

[Stoat review-of-review: ooh dear, Kevin Courtney, who has given us all good reviews in the past, gets the boot in ... a strange one this, though, the song (see the words) is about living on the dole, the hero's poverty being highlighted by him being UNable to buy 'rocky' ... hmmm ... the presence of an acoustic guitar hardly makes a song 'tradcore' ... inadequate listening, go stand at the back of the class, Kevin. 2 out of 10]
