Saturday Matinee – The Pogues, The Rumjacks & Rory Gallagher
The Pogues‘ (late) frontman Shane McGowan took Waxies’ Dargle, an Irish traditional, and made it incomprehensible. The lyrics are not obscene.
The Rumjacks are a Celtic punk band, formed in Sydney Australia in 2008, relocated to Europe in 2016. An Irish Pub Song (2010) was in the top 5 of the “Most Popular St Patricks Day” songs on YouTube for the years 2016 through 2019 according to Billboard Magazine.
Rory Gallagher, live at the Cork Opera House, Cork, Ireland, 1987. Another master guitar slinger who died way before his time.
Saint Patrick’s Day weekend has begun, and I imagine a lot of you green ale guzzlers will give Monday morning a pass. Meanwhile, we’ll be on porch watch. See you then.
Saturday Matinee – Brogan’s Bar, Selfish Murphy & The Rumjacks
It’s St. Patrick’s Day Eve Eve Eve. so let’s wear out the green.
Locals show up for impromptu performances of traditional songs at Brogan’s Bar, Ennis, County Clare, Ireland.
Selfish Murphy is a Romanian band (playing a Swedish DJ’s song with an Irish twist). “Wake me up when it’s over” was my mantra recently…
Hailing from Sydney Australia, The Rumjacks kick it with a profane but fun romp of a protest song.
Have a great weekend and we’ll see you tomorrow (unless the internet is shut down due to the mass hysteria over The Virus).
