Cork's Greatest Records: 'The Night John Lynch Lost His Glasses'

They were in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time, to borrow from Dr John.

Cork band Princes Street were an anachronism: a long-haired bunch of freedom-loving, Grateful Dead listening musicians whose loose, blues and rock based live gigs borrowed from the style of Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue a decade earlier.
