Welcome, roseellen. Great to have you aboard! (I read Bartley's King of the Gypsies memoir last December -- loved it. As informative and insightful as it was entertaining.) |

It's indeed a shame that he's not still around... :-\ He seemed like a real survivor, not mention a fascinating character and an all-around good guy.
But I think his life story is in pretty good hands as long as Shane and Paddy get to be the ones to dramatize it, since they were lucky enough to get to know him personally -- I have no doubt that they would do right by Bartley.

Wasn't there supposed to be a lot of Bartley Gorman in Paddy's character in Romeo Brass? The voice, the mannerisms, the long-winded tales...?

Yep, the accent and his stories about supernatural stuff were inspired by Bartley.

Paddy's on about him in the commentary "he's seen aliens, he calls them celestial beans"
