Aslan’s commanding Live at the Marquee set brings back memories of Ireland's coming of age

As Aslan’s set climaxed with This Is, chants of “Olé, Olé, Olé,” rang around the Marquee in appreciation.

Given that we currently have a national football team playing with a sense of purpose, while next door the Cork senior hurling team had just put Waterford to the sword one could be forgiven for casting one’s mind back to 1990, a bumper year for Cork GAA and the occasion when Ireland became football crazy as it sang Jackie’s Army off to Italy.
