For me the 60s was important because I was a teenager then and the bands then were the influences.
My mum loved dancing and played the piano and was gregarious. There were Gypsies on her side of the family. Her dad was from Cork and sometimes in summer I'd go there with my mum to meet up with that side of the family and pick fruit and hops.
