Twenty-four hours after the tour that took Richard Harris through the scenes of his Limerick lifetime to the screen scenes of his latest hit movie, the star guest and Gerry Lowe would return to the Savoy.

A statue of Richard Harris is also said to be unveiled in Bedford Row in Limerick when the street that is currently being refurbished is completed in late 2006.
The show was a critical success, but a financial failure, and Harris lost all his savings on the venture.
He recorded several albums, one ("A Tramp Shining") included the seven-minute hit song written by Jimmy Webb, "MacArthur Park" (which Harris mispronounced as "MacArthur's Park"); that song reached #2 on the United States Billboard magazine pop chart, while topping several charts in Europe, in the summer of 1968.
