Brendan O'Connor · Frances Black - “A Woman’s Heart was the inspiration for the Spice Girls!” · 18 Jul 2026 podcast

And, you know, my mother loved the song Singing in the Rain, but it was from the little Nellie Kelly version.

So my mother always dreamed of being in a St.

Patrick's Day parade in New York.

So when she got to her 80th year as her present, I brought her over to New York for St.

Patrick's Day and she got to see the parade.

And she was in a wheelchair at the time.

So we kind of we buzzed around New York and she met the most incredible people on that trip.

She met Brendan Grace.

We were in a hotel, Fitzpatrick's Hotel in New York.

Brendan Grace was there.

He was over for St.

Patrick's Day.

And they sat up till three o'clock in the morning, the two of them singing songs.

So she just had it was a dream come true to her to go to New York for St.

Patrick's Day.

And she met people that she never thought she'd meet in her life.

And this is Judy Garland.

And me and her, we used to sit watching old movies together back in the day when I was a kid.

And we had a great time.

Yeah, and as I say, it was fantastic for me to be able to go, you know, and travel with my family, my sister Mary and my three brothers, Martin, Michael and Shay, and do that little folk club tour around, you know.
