Ardoyne Andy

It was different growing up back then in the forties and fifties . People had respect . Looking back its sad to think thats all been left behind .

Bravo Bernie

For some emigration is the only way to go .

Brian’s Away With The Birds

Like the flight of the wild geese another exile from Belfast must make a home away from home .

John’s Away On

Well there was nothing to keep him , so John went away on .

Flight Of The Flock

Meeting this group of people from Ardoyne was like getting caught up with the flight of a flock of wild geese .

Morgan Sets Up

Another angle to a man with a cue .

Mena's Memories

Leaving a land and a people that she loved Mena tried to find a home .

Ursula’s

The further away from home you are , being Irish makes you proud .

Kathleens Got Out

Living in conflict can sometimes change your perception about life . Its only when we leave a place of conflict that we can see the truth .

Miss Robinson - Jesus Loves You

A girl who was an only child grew up, got married , emigrated, lost her husband and still smile's through it all .

Tommy Took The Boat

Another Ardoyne man decides to emigrate . Its a big step to take alone a little like a lottery in life but if you take the chance sometimes you can win .

Absent friends are precious memories of a life left behind.
