Conversation in a corner
The Renaissance is a period of Irish history that started many, many years ago and continued up until about 4.30 on Thursday, June 30th, 1988, when Mick Brett installed a television in the back of the Humbert Inn.
The Renaissance was a time of learning, listening, laughter, and conversation. A time when people discussed the price of the pint, debated art, what new music they were currently listening to, politics, the best way to come into town so as to avoid the smell of the bacon factory, the game last Sunday, and the game the Sunday before that, local stuff, which takeaway had the nicest chips, and the simplest way to solve quadratic equations amongst other topics.
Lately, there has been an effort to bring The Renaissance back. I imagine it would look something like this.
