The melody is pushing 200 years old, so the fact it's survived means that people really like it, and the lyrics were written by one of the best Irish poets ever to write in English. And it's been sung by like a zillion professional singers. I think you're being a bit hard on yourself here

Why do they look like a budget Good Charlotte now?

Bring back the Mayo jerseys

Bono sang in a mid-Atlantic accent and got shit for it.

Did he? I thought the shit he got was just for being a total cunt in general.

At one stage pre YouTube, I thought I remembered Dermot Morgan being Rasher in this ad.

and be a man (of good standing in your community). But apparently not hard to get in to a lodge in Ireland.

It surprised me how many of my friends turn out to be Freemasons. I’m starting to wonder if I’m some kind of holy prophet that needs to be protected, all of them are ex-military too.

I managed about 20 seconds of that song and whoever said Kasabian was bang on.

I haven’t had lunch there but I’ve been in there for conferences and gigs. Cool place.

ha - yeah - I was out in under a min too.

I think the 'oasis b-side' comparison also had a ring of truth to it.

I think if I stayed the course, there would be a Kaiser Chiefs style chorus at some point. Mad that this band that have worked really hard to cultivate a Dublin image remind us of so many “lads bands” from England.

Someone make friends with thier parents and eventually sit through oasis were better than blur (unabridged 2024 edition) just to prove my theory

Nice! Good crowd reaction too! "Fáinne geal an lae" translates as "the bright ring of day", I think. It's a deadly line - its usual translation "the dawning of the day" doesn't really do it justice

Haven't listened to more than three minutes of these lads in my life, and bu the sounds of things I ain't missing much.

I'd like to hear a duet between Grian Chatten & Damien Dempsey.
Maybe a version of Dub a lin town.
That would be good fun.

Not sure I made it to 20 seconds myself but I am also in absolute agreement

I've dealt with them a little bit in the past in relation to events in the hall, and I've found them always to be really nice and helpful.
Bit like dolphins...
