Blast from the Past
I'd not really heard about the band AC/DC until I arrived at Pierrepont and was introduced to the thunder by a fellow who on my first day offered me a cigarette and a pint at The Mariners, a pub literally across from the front gates of the school. What a difference compared with Portora! With the warm, south England weather I was in heaven.
I've very fond memories of The Mariners. They had live music, and any time they'd ask for requests they'd be bombarded with calls of Moby Dick! Of course they never played that, so we had to settle on straining our voices to The Police's "Roxanne".
That fellow's name was Elliot Morris, and I recently had the pleasure of reconnecting with him. Brilliant!
