Hmmmmm having grown up not far from the Fort Apache indian reservation in Arizona I find it strange that my only encounter with the word was from my Irish grandfather ... Lugaid Brugha Hi Della and Phil . Thankyou for your explanation on Banshee but I am amused the Apache Indians have a different slant.

I have seen that shop but did not ask about the meaning of the name!
