Philip Larkin and John Betjeman
One from the vaults and very interesting, both of these guys were fine writers and Betjeman spent more than a while in Ireland. His poem 'Ireland's Own' about the burial of Thomas Moore is really worth a listen, if you can find a recording of it and Philip Larkin's 'Going, Going' is another. Look them up and enjoy. This video is from the BBC Archive and with thanks.
