Madam, - RTÉ gave us a marvellous trip down memory lane on Tuesday night with the documentary on the 1970s "rock" band Horslips. None of the modern regurgitated boy/girl band rubbish but genuine original brilliance by a group of lads with real talent and an eye for change.

I was very close to reaching into the wardrobe for my platform shoes and my lime-green suit complete with wide lapels and flared trousers; but, alas, they, like my memories, are from a different era. - Yours, etc.,
