Tuam Ponies


Earlier this year, there was a catchy song on the radio that I'd hum along to. One of the reasons I noticed it was because I thought the chorus included the line Stranded in Tuam, which would have explained the melancholy voice of the singer. As it turned out, I'd just misheard it, and though the singer in question did visit Galway, she managed to get out again. And never went near Tuam.


Not to be confused with Dustin the Turkey's song "I've been to Tullamore but I've never been to Meath"* which is a horse of a different colour.

* Warning - cheesy synth ahoy!

I loved that Bic Runga song so much on Red-FM that I bought the album. The album is all right--not as good as Get Some Sleep.
