Actor J G Devlin Blue Plaque, Falls Road Library Belfast
I'm up on the Falls Road in West Belfast to film his commemrative blue plaque to JG Devlin on the front wall of the Library.
James Gerard Devlin ( 1907 – 1991) was a Northern Irish actor who made his stage debut in 1931, and had long association with the Ulster Group Theatre. In a career spanning nearly sixty years, he played parts in TV productions such as Z-Cars, Dad's Army, The New Avengers and Bread. He also guest starred, alongside Leonard Rossiter, in an episode of Steptoe and Son, The Desperate Hours. The writers of Steptoe and Son - Ray Galton and Alan Simpson - have since revealed that Devlin was second choice to play the part of Albert Steptoe in the series, behind Wilfrid Brambell. He also appeared as Father Dooley, a Catholic priest, in several episodes of Carla Lane's Bread, his last television appearance.
His was Vivian Stanshall's personal choice for the role of Old Scrotum, the Wrinkled Retainer in the Charisma Films version of Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, released in 1980.

Blue plaque honour for Belfast actor JG Devlin who starred alongside Connery and Cruise in career spanning 60 years.
At the unveiling ceremony yesterday, actor Dan Gordon said JG Devlin, who appeared in everything from the Belfast radio series The McCooeys to blockbuster movies including Far And Away, opened up the path for modern stars such as Liam Neeson, James Nesbitt and Adrian Dunbar.
JG, whose career spanned 60 years, also starred in a huge number of TV dramas, including the comedy Bread and in episodes of Z Cars. The actor, who never lost his gravelly Belfast accent, might have been an even bigger star of the small screen.
JG started his career in amateur theatre with the Oranmore Players in 1931. He also produced plays for staff at Mackie's engineering works, where he was employed as a clerk. It was at the Group Theatre and through The McCooeys that he really made his name in the 1940s and 1950s. Later, in 1955, he made his film debut alongside Rock Hudson in Captain Lightfoot, which was shot on location in Co Meath.
Four years after that he was cast in the Disney film Darby O'Gill And The Little People alongside a young Connery. His last film was Far And Away with Cruise and Nicole Kidman, which was released after he died. On the internet he is listed as having appeared in no fewer than 75 films and TV shows from 1955 until his death.
Yesterday scores of people, including his children, grandchildren and great-granddaughter, watched as Belfast Lord Mayor Arder Carson unveiled the blue plaque on the wall of the Falls Road Library, where the actor nurtured his love of novels and plays while growing up in nearby Oranmore Street.
One of his daughters, Fiona Coyle, said her father would have loved the ceremony and its location because of the library's importance in his life.
James Gerard Devlin was born in October 1907 and died in October 1991.
Chris Spurr, the chairman of the Ulster History Circle, which erected the plaque, said he had been known throughout his life as an inspiration to younger actors.
One of them, Dunbar, sent a message saying that JG was a talisman for people who wanted to act. He added that his favourite story about him was from the launch of the National Theatre in London in the 1960s, when director Peter Hall opened the floor for questions and Jimmy replied: Is there any chance of getting draught Guinness in the bar? Actor and director Sam McCready told how he first worked with JG in the 1940s on a radio show for children, and later at the Group Theatre, where he took great pride in having discovered Stephen Boyd, who went on to become a Hollywood star.
Mr McCready said he was absorbed by JG's stories of his early life in Belfast and how he once slept under the Ormeau Bridge when he was unemployed.
He also told how JG had asked a caretaker at the National Theatre in London to bring him a cup of tea, only realising afterwards he had been talking to acclaimed stage and film actor Frank Finlay.
Actress Roma Tomelty, whose father Joe wrote the The McCooeys, also paid tribute, saying that JG had played the role of Granda for six of the seven series, where his distinctive voice made him an instantly recognisable star.
And Gordon told how he often heard actors in Belfast like Mark Mulholland, John Hewitt and Louis Rolston talk in hushed, reverential tones about JG's skills.
He said it was proper that Jimmy Ellis had been credited with being an ambassador for the Ulster dialect on Z Cars, but he added: JG was doing it for many years before.
Ballywillan Graveyard Portrush & James 11 Daughter's Grave
I'm up outside Portrush and have just come across old Ballywillan Church and Churchyard dating as far back as the 12th Century.
Ballywillan was once a place of some importance. The name means “The Town of the Mill”. The area of salt flats that lay between here and the sea was known as Magheramena, meaning the Plain of the Monks. Yes, there was an Abbey here too... Later this name was changed to Magherabuoy, meaning “The Yellow Plain” so called because of the large amounts of Rape that was grown here in the fields.
Ballywillan Church (Ballywillin) is one mile outside Portrush on the Ballywillan/ Magherabuoy Rd. The old church has no roof but the walls are intact. It’s not known who built the church. There is no definite date when it was built. It would have been the main Parish church for Ballywillan. In the early 17th Century came the reformation. The church would have been taken over by the Church of Ireland.
It would have been used until the 1840s, when a new church was built in nearby Portrush. Other churchgoers who came here would have been Presbyterian rather than C.o.I. Presbyterians would go on to build their own place of worship at Ballywillan Presbyterian church just along the road in 1829.
The oldest headstone in the graveyard marks the grave of a Royal Princess, the illegitimate daughter of James 2nd, King of England.
The story goes that King James 2nd was on his way in 1689 to the siege of Derry. He stopped off en-route for 3 days in Ballymoney. Whilst there he “took a shine”, to a local farmer’s daughter. This farmer thought he might gain favour from the King by offering his daughter for an evening. This he did. It later turned out that the farmer’s daughter was pregnant. King James, who had seven illegitimate children during his life, unsurprisingly denied having any relationship with the the farmer's daughter.
The child she bore was called Dorothea and was brought up into a Protestant Family. She later married a wealthy Coleraine Merchant called Ross and died early in life, only in her twenties. Local legend has it that she actually died giving birth.
Dorothea, daughter of James 2nd , is now buried right here in Ballywillan. Her headstone is said to have been erected by Queen Anne, her half sister. On the headstone is the Stuart Coat of Arms and a Fleur de Lys.
Another interesting grave with sea connections is that of Captain William Clarke who for a period of about 40 years commanding vessels around the British Islands and distinguished by many acts of heroism and humanity particularly the rescue of 64 persons from the wreck of the steamer “American” on the 24th January 1865. William points out that in the above inscription “British Islands” refers in fact to The West Indies.

What Shakespeare's English Sounded Like - and how we know
Botched rhymes, buried puns and a staged accent that sounds more Victorian than Elizabethan. No more! Use linguistic sleuthing to dig up the surprisingly different sound of the bard's Early Modern English.

Be my patron:
~ Briefly, and without spoilers ~
I'm embarrassed to admit that this is the first time I ever really got into Shakespeare. There's a personal story here, which I'll quickly share in the video.
The idea of reconstructing his pronunciation intrigued me. As I started making trips to the library and downloading old grammars, I just found the questions piling on. I did find some answers for you.
It starts with his odd spelling - well, the spelling he inherited. Chaucer's medieval spelling was followed by modern sound changes, including the start of the Great Vowel Shift. The introduction of Caxton's printing press and the spelling debates put Early Modern English in a state of flux by Shakespeare's time. They also left our first trail of evidence.
Other evidence comes from rhythm, rhymes and - more reluctantly - puns. Many of these don't work the same way anymore, from the rhymes like sea and prey to the rhythm of housewifery.
Modern dialects add another layer of evidence, at times preserving features that standard English accents, notably RP, have lost.
The sound of his language is also shaped by his grammar. His use of thou and his third-person -th vs -s verb endings always stand out to English speakers. Finally, though data-crunchers challenge his legendary status as king of all the words, we consider how innovative he was in the way he used words.
We end with a note on linguist David Crystal's Original Pronunciation (OP) experiment at the reconstructed Globe Theatre, and some thoughts on what studying Shakespeare's sounds as a different pronunciation system says about him and about us.
