Irish tunes for Paddy's day


ParlourMan

Recommended Posts

So, we're booked for this evening.. deciding to throw an extra few tunes in last minute to deride the fact we're not actually Irish... Any suggestions, not U2, got a bit of Damien Rice (woman like a man, haw haw), not traditional diddley-diddley music and less obvious (but still popular) than the usual 3-4 songs, if ye be knowing what I mean?

 

@BBG? @Del?

Much more a 'bollox let's get pissed' paddys do than anything else, man. Broon eyed girl is one of the ones I flat refuse to play. Something from astral weeks if anything.

Anything by the The Clancey Brothers. Maybe Moonshiner:

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me, well, leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry

And the moonshine don't kill me, I'll live til I die

 

Or maybe the dropkick Murphy's version of Finnegan's Wake.

It was alwasy at times like that I was glad I could muddle my way through with a fiddle.

 

I always liked that "D'Hampton Worm" song from the Lair of the White Worm pic by the Tossers.

 

Grab a copy of Richard Thompson's "Strict Tempo" LP and cop some stuff.
