[looobylooo]

Hi all,

Wondering if any of you lovely lot out there can help me please?

We are planning a themed family get together night on
St Patricks day, with food etc.

I want to make a cd up to play on the night of happy, lively, foot tapping Irishy style songs and im wondering if you have any suggestions please.

I've already got two on my list !! lol - Sham Rock's I'll tell you Ma (i love that song!) and The Pogues/Dublinners Irish Rover..

Soooo, get your thinking caps on everyone! :o)

Anyone with ideas of any little additional Irish touches to make our night a good one would be most appreciated.

Thank youuuu :o)

and

'I Useta Lover' by The Saw Doctors

Yes - The Pogues - Irish Rover. You can't help but join in with it!

None of these are Irish but Levellers - One Way is a fairly famous song with some fiddles.

The Men They Couldn't Hang have a few fiddles.

The Pogues Sally Maclannan is quite bouncy.

keep em coming!

:o)

Thank youuuu

Get a copy of the Pogues album "Rum Sodomy & The Lash" and you're off to a great start.

Then get a Dubliners compilation - their 25th Anniversary one is good, but make sure it's Ronnie Drew era stuff.

Dropkick Murphys are great too!
