How you doing there folks [G] this is Dublin City Today I am Sean it is Thursday, what date
is it today Zoe?
I don't know it's a Thursday.

We think it's the 20th [Em] of October it's a Thursday afternoon I'm with Zoe Clark.
Hey Zoe.
How's it going?
[D] What we're going to do is we're going to take a stroll up Grafton Street with Zoe Clark
who's going to show us [G] around because we haven't taken a stroll up Grafton Street in ages isn't that right?
So we're going to follow [Em] Zoe we've just realised there's [C] a new girl here. _ _
What's [D] that?
I've never seen her before.
She sounds pretty good though.
She just sounds fantastic.
I've never seen this girl [Em] before but I'm going to come back down and I'm going to do a bit
of recording of [C] her.
Very good. _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [E] Nice one Zoe.
[G] That's the girl with the harp.
Yeah that's the girl with the harp.
Niamh her [G] name is.
Niamh.
And for those who don't know how [D] to spell it because you know in Irish names a lot of
people are going to struggle.
[G] N-I-A-M-H.
Yeah.
Even I struggle.
Yeah.
So [Em] how are you Zoe?
I'm good.
Oh [B] actually Zoe happy [G] belated birthday folks.
It was Zoe's 21st birthday there last [Eb] week on [G] the what the 8th was it?
Well my party was the 7th but my birthday is the 1st.
That's right the 1st.
Yeah yeah.
So [B] you're 21 now Zoe.
Yeah I'm feeling it.
Feeling really old.
I'm going to have my walking stick next to me.
Yeah you're like one of those free range [G] pensioners out here running up and down the [N] street.
So who have we got coming up here outside Brown's Home Zoe?
We have the lovely Lara Bell.
[C] We do.
And Lara Bell you were actually kind enough to give Lara Bell an end of your amp a few minutes ago.
Yeah.
Very good.
The other one _ [E] wasn't working I don't know.
[B] Yeah I think it might have been batteries or something like that.
Yeah.
So hopefully mine doesn't go dead during my set.
Yeah.
So I didn't charge it today.
Oh dear oh dear oh [D] dear.
So we'll take a little look over here.
We have [Em] Lara Bell.
Sorry. _
_ _ _ _ _ The wonderful [G] Lara Bell.
Give us a smile Lara Bell.
_ Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho [Eb] ho ho ho ho. Oh dang.
So that's her wedding ring.
She's just pointed [D] out her wedding ring [Cm] just to make it known that she's not actually married yet.
That's what that was.
[E] You know so [Em] thanks for that Lara [D] Bell.
Cheers.
[Bb] That [C] really hurt me.
Yeah.
It hurt me to put my [G] finger up.
You know how much effort that was.
[C] _ Just because I rock doesn't mean I'm out of stone.
You know what I mean.
_ _ _ So that's Lara Bell.
I take it [F] back.
She's not lovely.
[D] _ Yeah. _
She's having [E] difficulties [Gb] today during her set.
Yeah.
We let her [Bbm] off.
Yeah.
It's been [E] tough.
And me coming up and putting the camera in her [C] face right after she's had some of her
[A] challenges during her set.
Probably. _
[N] Yeah.
I'd say she actually probably wants to show me a kiss.
I think she's got a kick or something there.
Wouldn't be the first time.
You can't kick old people. _
That's true.
That would be elder abuse to be fair [B] you know.
You know I'm older than Lara Bell.
[Ab] Are you older than Lara Bell now? Yeah.
[D] Look at you. _
Not now.
I've always been older.
You've always been.
Yeah. _
That's a fair point actually.
Yeah.
You got me there.
And I don't think [F] we have anybody outside [C] Beaulieu's [A] which is obviously we have Beaulieu's
Cafe over [N] here going from the right hand side.
[Dm] And then opposite Beaulieu's at the laneway we have a busking stand.
_ [D] _ And there's nobody there.
Which [Gm] is kind of weird on a Thursday.
Yeah because Thursdays _ [B] they're usually fairly busy [Em] you know.
You can see it's a pretty busy [G] day.
And we had a [B] storm here.
Did you see the storm yesterday?
Yes.
[Dm] The thunder and lightning.
We had a.
If you didn't see it in person [G] everybody had it on the story.
Yeah.
Or on something.
I got some good footage of the storm last night.
We had a thunderstorm here in Ireland yesterday [Dm] guys in Dublin.
Ireland.
And it was amazing.
I love thunderstorms I have to say.
[Bb] I like it because I like the weather.
I like sitting at _ _ _ _ _ [D] home looking [Dm] out at it.
Where I'm nice and warm [D] and dry you know.
I didn't look out I [B] had my blinds closed.
[D] _ _ Are you a bit of a scaredy cat with all that are you?
I'm not a scaredy cat.
_ _ [F] _ [A] So we have I can hear some music up here Zoe.
No [G] I'm not scraping it.
[Dm]
Yeah we'll see this [Gm] is a new it might be a new back here actually just playing guitar.
[Bb] _ _ Up on our right hand [A] side here. _
_ And of course we have a music room.
And we have [Dm] our flower stands here.
[Gm] Always a beautiful smell actually coming past here with all those beautiful flowers.
And here we have _ Mr Guitar [A] Man. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ That was Wham!
Careless [Bb] Whispers from Wham!
Do you know that song?
Yeah I do yeah.
It's such a good song actually.
Yeah Fabio [Am] Rodriguez does a really good cover of that [A] actually.
