After a nostalgic look back at a Cork tribute to The Sopranos proved very popular on the site yesterday, here’s another tribute to the iconic show from about as far west as you can get in Ireland.
Fans of The Sopranos are still mourning the untimely death of James Gandolfini earlier this week and are finding many different ways to pay tribute to the late Tony Soprano, whether it’s a table being reserved at the ice-cream parlour where the final scene in the show was shot, Bruce Springsteen dedicating a version of Born to Run to his memory or Sky Atlantic putting on a Sopranos marathon last night.
We put up an old clip of
a version of the opening sequence that was filmed in Cork up on the site yesterday and after that proved immensely popular, we figured that fans of the show wouldn’t mind taking another look at a similar effort from Belmullet, where the Mayo mafia patrol the mean rural roads and backwaters.
Rather than clips of buildings and urban clutter as portrayed in the opening sequence in New Jersey, this version has a lot of fields and a lot of livestock but it certainly looks no less ominous than similar efforts.
Fine work indeed and in this week of all weeks, it’s well worth another look.
