I'm sorry to report that another legend of the Cork pub and music scene is in a bad way.

Mick "The Butch" Murphy is just out of hospital and things aren't great.

I'd say he's familiar to a fair few in this thread. One of the biggest legends I've ever met. I hope he'll be OK, but as things stand it isn't good.

The name rings a bell but I can't quite place him. Get well man.

It's owned by the guy who has the Liberty, as well as Soul Restaurant around the corner.

A very good operator and a nice fella, I'd say he'll make a good job of the new Preachers.

Not sure if he's managed to do anything with the jacks, which was always the biggest drawback of the place. They're absurdly small. My mate big massive Dave used have to go into the kebab place next door to use the jacks because he couldn't fit into the one in Preachers.

My only complaint is the name. I'll have to keep calling it Preachers as I couldn't be arsed typing out the new name, with all its fadas

You could always call it The Gilt Edge

Speaking of pub toilets letting the place down, hopefully the owners of the Welcome Inn can get something sorted there.

It's a fabulous pub, the best in the city at the moment imho, but the jacks is an awful let down. Bad enough you need to be a bit of a contortionist to fit in there but they're a bit on the grubby side. The mens and womens facilities could have shared hand basins in the corridor while the jacks itself could possibly be revamped.

Whatever it is something needs to be done to improve what imho is the only thing stopping it getting 5 rating.

The Gilt Edge was well known for serving underage people back in the day. A lot of young lads, including me, had their first pints there. It was a dingy dive where you wouldn't dream of bringing a lass.

Bringing a lass?????

I thought it was Spain you were in Lee, not Yorkshire. Or are there that many brits in your part of Spain you're picking up their lingo.


The Gilt Edge had a few "diamonds in the rough" back in the day.

I am in Málaga, Spain and lass or lassie is originally a Scottish expression which everyone understands.

It's old Norse - Lasqar = unmarried.
