Although one cannot go more than five or six miles from the sea, one face looks towards the North, and the other face looks towards the South. That is, when I reached Ireland I was considering it as part of North Cornwall. I must admit that I heard Irish long before I heard Cornish, which is a very strange thing to say. I liked the stories about cowboys on the Irish radio. Now that I’ve got hold of the DVD, almost sixty years afterwards, I know now that it was a comedy, after a very Irish mode.Īfter that I wanted to go there, and I used to listen to the Irish radio. There was a very, very dark atmosphere in it. Anyway, the third one was based on a play by Lady Gregory, but the period had been changed to the period of the War of Independence. We hadn’t got a television, but I remember seeing the Six-Five Special with Pete Murray presenting in my friend’s house, with the Six-Five Special’s coming down the line, the Six-Five Special’s right on time, but the Six-Five Special didn’t come to Delabole. That was the first programme about pop music on the BBC. I remember running there hoping to see the Six-Five Special. There was a little station at the time, before Doctor Beeching. The second one was about people who were trying to wait for a train. There were three stories in it, one in the countryside that was a very Cornish story, except for the Irish accents, about a man who preferred to go to prison than apologise to a man he struck for calling him a liar. And also we saw that wonderful film, The Rising of the Moon, in the little cinema that was in Delabole. The Irish radio was stronger than the Home Service very often. But when I was a boy in North Cornwall, Dublin was the city on the horizon.
