AI suggests that the first one is a very specifically Irish reference…

The line "'95 came promotion, high up on the wing" from the song "Killeagh" by Kingfishr refers to a specific victory by the local Killeagh hurling team in 1995.

This line and the song's context celebrate the band member Eoin Fitzgibbon's hometown and the pride and loyalty associated with its Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club.

"'95 came promotion": Refers to the Killeagh hurling team earning promotion in 1995, an important milestone in the club's history.

"High up on the wing": The "wing" refers to a specific field position in the sport of hurling, highlighting a player's role in the team's success.

Fair play Jon - specific and the then some!

I studiously avoid AI, but now I’m wondering…

I found the song…

This song is so, so beautiful. As a London born kid who used to holiday every summer in Ballina Mayo where my Mum is from, this just pulls me right back to those beautiful uncomplicated times running the fields with the cows and playing pitch and putt with family. Wonderful memories which I cherish. I think of Ballina when I hear this, and the last words for me would be "bury me with my mammy, by the River Moy"...

Another one bites (t)he dust?
