Isn t it odd the things that grab you and bring you a way back. Once upon a time I heard a man singing the song, The Road by the River, and there are two lines in it which go: On the spot where he fell, A white cross can be seen, On the road by the river that flows through Raheen .
But my man had his own take on it and it came out like this: On the spot where he fell, A white horse does be seen, On the road by the river that flows through Raheen.
News that a short film by a Castleisland writer, director, and University College Cork graduate, Shaun O Connor is in contention for an Oscar nomination, after securing a place on the Academy Awards 2021 long-list, is just what took me back all those years to that impromptu performance.
