Evening all,

Trawling through the list of Showbands on this site I came across a picture ofThe Crackaways Showband.

One of the band members is a guy called Pat Rabbitte.

Are he and the esteemed Labour Leader one and the same ?

Hi all,

The ever reliable Liamo tells me that it's a different Pat Rabbitte. Pity !

Barry -

I took the liberty of sending this quote/link to Pat and here is his reply...

"My musical talents wouldnt even make a showband with a name like Crackaways!
Regards
Pat Rabbitte T.D.
Labour Party Leader"

Hi all,

Shame it wasn't him.

I was imagining what instrument he played. I came up with alto sax. Don't know why....he just looks like an alto player to me. Maybe himself and that lunatic from Kerry who's name escapes me (you know the guy with the cap who plays alto) could make an album.
As to other politicians and the instruments they might play.....Willie O'Dea looks like he's permanantly playing the Comb and Paper !!

Jacky Healy Ray you're thinking of ???

I was trying to think of something in DEFENCE of Willy but you've got him pegged.

The rest might make an orchestra with all the fiddlers Grin
