When it’s love you give, I’ll be a man of good faith. Then in love you’ll live, I’ll make a stand and won’t break. I’ll be the rock you can build on, Be there when you’re old, to have and to hold. When there’s love inside, I swear I’ll always be strong. Then there’s a reason why, I’ll prove to you we belong. I’ll be the wall that protects you, From the wind and the rain, from the hurt and the pain, yeah! Let’s make it! All for one and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need, ‘Cause when it’s all for one, it’s one for all. When there’s someone that should know, then just let your feelings show, And make it all for one and all for love. When it’s love you make, I’ll be the fire in your night. When it’s love you take I will defend, I will fight. I’ll be there when you need me, When honor’s at stake, this vow I will make. Let’s make it all for one and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need, ‘Cause when it’s all for one, it’s one for all. When there’s someone that should know, then just let your feelings show, And make it all for one and all for love. Don’t lay our love to rest, ‘Cause we can stand up to the test. We’ve got everything and more, Than we had planned. More than the rivers that run the land. We got it all in our hands! Let’s make it all for one and all for love. Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need, ‘Cause when it’s all for one, it’s one for all, it’s one for all. When there’s someone that should know, then just let your feelings show. When there’s someone that you want, someone that you need, let’s make it, All, all for one, And all for love. END
“Goosey goosey gander, whither shall I wander? Upstairs and downstairs and in my lady’s chamber. There I met an old man who wouldn’t say his prayers, So I took him by his left leg and threw him down the stairs. The stairs went crack; he nearly broke his back. And all the little ducks went, quack, quack, quack.”
The rhyme, in its original form, is rarely, if ever, taught nowadays to young children, given its rather violent and therefore unsuitable content.
It is believed that this rhyme refers to Priest Holes. Strong anti-Catholic sentiment in England had forced practising Catholic families to hide their wayfaring Catholic priests, thus avoiding having them persecuted under the reigns of King Henry VIII; his descendent Edward VI; Queen Elizabeth I, and later under Oliver Cromwell; the latter a senior commander in the Parliamentarian army and thereafter a politician. Once discovered these wandering priests would be forcibly removed from their place of refuge and in many cases thrown down the stairs, before being further badly treated; hence “all the little ducks went, quack, quack, quack.”
During the reign of Edward VI, “Can’t say his prayers” possibly referred to the banning of prayers in Latin and the insistence on the use of the Church of England’s “Book of Common Prayer”, preached in the English language; sanctioned in the reign of Henry VIII.
Later on, “left leg” became a slang term for members of the Catholic Church during the reign of Edward VI. Readers in Ireland will be familiar with the term, he/she “kicks with the right foot/leg”, latter referring to members of the Protestant community.
Also featuring on the night will be Ukranian Folk Artist& Choreographer, Ms Yuliya Shilnikova.
Mick Hanly & Yuliya Shilnikova entertain at Cashel Library, September 23rd next.
American country music singer and songwriter, Garth Brooks currently touring Ireland presently, said of Mick Hanly, “His songs are real, they mean something. He is one of the best songwriters around at the moment”.

(Lyrics written by Co. Kilkenny poet Kathleen Blanchfield).
Our readers will sadly remember what is commonly referred to as the ‘9/11 attacks’ (September 11th 2001), where four coordinated suicide terrorist attacks were carried out by the militant Islamic extremist network al-Qaeda, against the United States of America.
On the morning of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners, each scheduled to travel from northeastern U.S. to California.
The hijackers crashed the first two planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City, and the third plane into the Pentagon (headquarters of the American military), latter situated at Arlington, Virginia.
The fourth plane which was intended to hit a federal government building in Washington, D.C., crashed into a field, following a revolt by passengers on board the flight.
Sadly, these acts of terrorism killed some 3,000 people, before instigating a global war on terror.
