By what reasoning is this an "Irish writer" stub? Filiocht | The kettle's on 07:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Contents

[edit] Dubliners

I think something should be added about Phil's work with the Dubliners, giving a mention to the songs "The Town I Loved So Well" and "Scorn Not His Simplicity".

[edit] Ireland's Call

The article on the IRFU states that it was commissioned in the mid 1990's, not written in the period suggested here. Any definite dates? Cois na Camac 04:48, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused - what does the IRFU have to do with this article? Verne Equinox 19:51, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
The Ireland national rugby union team (The IRFU is its governing body) use Ireland's Call as one of their official anthems. It was commissioned and written in 1995, not at the time suggested in the Phil Coulter page. I'm going to change it. Stu 14:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that info. Forgive me my ignorance. Nice edit BTW. I added quotation marks on the song title and minor other edits. Verne Equinox 17:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time to talk

StuMason: Why the deletions to Cvpj's material? I am disappointed that they are not sourced, but are they inaccurate? I think it is quite interesting to know that the subject worked with James Galway, that he studied among brilliant students. Care to discuss? Verne Equinox 01:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm happy enough with the revisions User:Cvpj has made today in regards to the introduction, although it is still badly worded. To be neutral I think mentioning both Derry and Londonderry is best. Cvpj and another user kept removing any mention of Londonderry, even though Londonderry is the official name. His earlier version also included a lot of POV, but again this has been removed in today's edit. Stu 10:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Obviously, a great flurry of work over the past few days - I think it works very well now. I have removed the stub tags. Thanks! Verne Equinox 01:24, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Performer"?

Does Phil only play the piano, or does he play other instruments as well? The article seems a bit vague on this point (and the reason I came to Wikipedia was to look for an answer) ... do any of you know? --Dlugar 05:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
