Such a pleasant surprise today when Joe Philpott (of Rubyhorse fame) walked in to The Grey Heron to deliver his memoir ‘All Roads Lead to Where You Are: From Bishopstown to The Beatles’ ) .
I was and still am a huge fan of Rubyhorse (‘Goodbye To All That’ being one of my favourite and most played albums in my 20s) so it was just class to stand and chat with Joe. He even signed all of the copies!
The book chronicles his life in music, from his beginnings in Bishopstown to touring America, working with George Harrison, and his eventual return home. It explores the highs and lows of a music career, the themes of risk, reinvention, and finding one’s way back to what matters most. Looking forward to reading it and one sold already which is great!

Thanks for swinging by Joe. 🙏

* Random fact; Joe spent a couple of years in Hamilton High School Bandon in the late 80s while his Dad Eric Philpott taught there 😀

COULD WE ASK YOU GUYS A FAVOUR! 🌟 🙏
Building up consistent and up to date GOOGLE REVIEWS really helps businesses in towns like Bandon and all around the country to stay relevant and keep any potential customers or visitors to the area informed.
In fact I’ll say it’s critical for us businesses here in Bandon given it’s not on the well-travelled West Cork trail.
With that in mind, we’d love anyone that has been a customer of ours (in shop or online) to take a minute and leave us your honest thoughts. We think we’re thick skinned enough! 🫣😁 (LINK IN BIO 👆📝)
PS One last thing, (!) this is for the gift shop & gallery side only - you can rave about the coffee on the WCC Brew Bar Google page! 😁 (that said if you want to say we make great coffee too we won’t fall out over it!)
