Captain Moonlight (Andrew George Scott 1845-1880) and James Nesbitt also Augustus Wernicke

(don't ask, I know it's a lot)

Looking through this great database of pre-WWII Irish oral histories and found a story about the “Moonlighters,” a group promoting/enforcing rent strikes among tenants during the 19th-century Land War, which includes the wonderful detail that “the leader was known as Captain Moonlight.”

The weekend spent at Wantabadgery in NSW filming the Captain Moonlight story. His shoot out with police was thought by some to be bigger than Ned Kelly’s last stand at Glenrowan

Song written for DCTV programme Now We're Hurlin'. The programme explores the dual emergence/re-emergence of both Hip Hop and Hurlin' cultures in Dublin in recent years. Due to problems suffered by DCTV in recent times the project is as of yet unfinished and it's future remains uncertain. However, the song which was the aim of the show from the emcees point of view was completed. apologies for final quality of mix/master but it's pretty much there. The track was produced by Danz with DJackulate on the cuts and features some of the best of the new generation of Dublin Hip Hop writers and emcees. These include the well known at this stage geniuses of Costello and Temper-Mental MissElayneous as well as the up and Coming Reece and Linco, both who are in the middle of projects of their own. Will put up links to their own releases in the next few days. I'm also in the song
