A Hero is Some one still able to function while as terrified as the rest of us
People will forget what you said to them,
forget what you did for them,
but will never forget how you made them feel
life gave us children so we would have Roses in December

Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) We love her
The Roaring forties are Irelands Premier Jump Jive Swing band, Its high energy
delivery of this music makes it one of the most exciting bands in the country.
Made up of six of the most talented musicians in Ireland with a vocalist / front man whose
voice suits this genre of music . Formed in 2003 for the Cork Jazz festival
The Roaring Forties have gone from strength to strength to become a highly
recognised ultra tight band in and out of the Jazz scene , with its rocky approach it is
watchable and dancable to by all ages. Currently the y have a single in the Irish charts with
Jon Kenny and an album "swing til you die" that are available in Virgin, HMV and tower records. Downloadable through
cd baby and iTunes
