Ciaran Bartlett sings an Irish folk song

they told me not to swear and so what I'm doing now is being mean its mouth off anyway when you're gonna write an Irish folk song the first thing you want to do is get this chord it sounds really sad anomalous it's called a minor it's like this right and then obviously because it's Irish folk you want to really thump the [ __ ] out of that chord like this you know like get your mild eyes on no like you're gonna fight your Mac right Majin a straight your rigging towards an army checkpoint right and the only thing protecting is a stolen Peugeot 306 right so then lyrics ways right what you want to do is think of a year in the eighteen hundred's right you want to think about something that brinstead sad again well it for us you want to think about something the English did then you want to pick an Irish folk hero who tried to help the Irish by selling food right and you want a shortness in the M going to like it makes it sound like it remains for them so if it was Michael Collins you go big Mickey Collins right the last thing you have to remember is then the saying like somebody strangling a goose right I'm not just handing yourself like one that's been like you know corn-fed and cork and then thrown in the microwave life and then you put all those things together and this is what you get right hip as a tea party bunny Garten ass nugget the English broth the blades and big Dan O'Connell was selling chicken nuggets but the winner was bought in shy

A mate (English) and I (Irish) had this running thing where we'd to try to outdo each other with horrifically insensitive and inappropriate jokes about the historical Irish/English relationship.

The problem was we'd forget that other people weren't necessarily always in on this joke, and would overhear.

So we're in this pub, in the arseholes of the back of beyond of Kerry, the locals are regarding us with some suspicion and a bit of hush but we're settling in for a few pints nonetheless. And my mate looks around, shakes his head and loudly tells me how "it must have been very trying for his people to make the likes of this type of crowd pay their rent payments promptly".

I was so impressed by the level of offensiveness that I forgot that I wasn't the only one that heard this.

Something of an awkward silence ensued, where I'm trying not to crack up laughing and he's swiveling his head about looking disapprovingly.

Maybe it's because I am from the west of Ireland, but Irish folk music means Sean Nós singing to me. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxjvNUNXhkU

This video is rebel music.

A fantastic stand-up performance, more of.

Haha, this is great. I just realized the similar sound to Jack Black and this guy's song at the very end.

Canadian Irish folk music sound like this:

Catch the wind

Go to sea no more

Rollin' of the sea

You can definitely hear some similarities, as the Irish settled the eastern coasts and took inspiration from their new surroundings.

God i love this band, and I'm not even Irish heritage(my Quebecois wife is though). I'm simply an Acadian maritimer with a love for good music.
