Be at the right place at the right time and It`s not what you know but who you know makes the difference... are true saying!!! This was a humbling experience.

Picture (c): Korda Marshall (Former boss of Warner Music) and award winning artist Pól Brennan (Clannad). Photo ©️ Gary Thomas KYPA 2026. The story goes, I was at school when Korda Marshall signed Clannad to RCA records and when `Theme from Harry`s Game reached No 5 in the UK Charts back in 1982.. Thanks to David Stark a music indusrty professional, I got to relive history once again. The only difference here - I witnessed and photographed Clannad in person receiving an award in 2026.
