On Grafton Street

Nanci Griffith: “On Grafton Street” (MCA)

Buskers, Bewley’s, Nuns, candles, prayers, elbows pushing and Christmas. Where else could you be but on our very own Grafton Street?! Nanci ‘The Virgin Mary Herself’ Griffiths doesn’t paint quite the idyllic picture of Dublins’ proudest and most exotic thoroughfare. It really only forms the backdrop to a tale of a memory of a lover long gone. Yet ‘On Grafton Street’ is very straight and honest.
