Courtesy Irish comedian and singer, the late great Brendan Grace, (1951–2019); known for his comedy schoolboy character “Bottler”.
Born in the heart of Dublin City in 1951, Brendan was raised on Echlin Street, in the Liberties area of the city. His father Seamus worked as a bartender, an ambulance man and other odd jobs, to keep the family going.
Like many young Dubliners of that period, Brendan left school young to find work. His first job was as a messenger boy, an occupation he often referred to in his live performances.
His wit and observations of daily life in Ireland will long remain.
From all at the Thurles.info website, may we wish you, our many readers and followers on social media; both at home and overseas, a very, veryHappy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. Nollaig Shona Dhuit.
