“Ah, sure, they didn’t suit you…”
The word legend gets bandied about far too readily, but was most definitely a title worthy of placing upon Larry Gogan’s shoulders. Loved music, LOVED IRISH MUSIC – every artist will have their own story. One year since his passing. #LarryGogan pic.twitter.com/6VtJQ1WALW— Colm Kavanagh (@KavanaghsArklow) January 7, 2021
