Of course, the show might not be taking place on the shores of Dublin Bay, but as with many of Ireland's, record seven wins it might be held in Millstreet, a small village in County Cork should Hawaii win for Ireland this year marking the 30th anniversary of Niamh Kavanagh's win, the second of three in a row.

As a coincidence I was reading this week the story of how, when the Sex Pistols were having trouble getting a hotel in Manchester in 1976 they turned up to the Clifton Grange Hotel owned by Philomena Lynott, the mother of one of Ireland's most famous rock and rollers, Phil Lynott.

It was somewhat notorious, a showbiz hangout (nicknamed The Biz) for all sorts such as George Best, Manchester United footballers, musicians and local gangsters because the bar was open through to six in the morning when all else was shut.

She told the Manchester Evening News that Lydon and the Sex Pistols were "...the nicest-mannered; I've never forgotten them."

Of course, both of Lydon's parents were Irish with his father from County Galway and his mother from County Cork.

It was on Howth, close to Sutton, that Philomena lived overlooking Dublin Bay when I met her in 2016 and interestingly I was there with someone from Hawaii who remained a good friend of Philomena in her final years.

Indeed, the view above could double for Hawaii on a fine Irish May day.

So, here we are now with Lydon's PiL performing the moving, emotive, personal song on Ireland's longest running chat show, the Late Late with the hope of bringing this powerful song of love to the Eurovision stage.

The Late Late Show starts at 21:30 Irish time on Friday the 3rd of February. Stream it on the RTE Player.
