Call for Suggestions: Irish Music

Posted on October 24, 2007 by Funtime Ben

So, we’re planning our next show.(I KNOW RIGHT?! ANOTHER SHOW!) And we’re looking for great Irish bands, either indie rock, pop, country, hip hop, anything to do with Irish. leave a comment and get thinking.

The next show will be coming after Halloween, with pictures of Josiah in costume. I promise.

    Ah! I’m outrageously embarrassed I didn’t come to you earlier… Why I didn’t… I have no idea.

    I am not too quick on the uptake. I also owe you a scrabble move.

    Collie is a good Irish MC.
    Plus, you’ve got to have a song from The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.
    Can’t wait to hear the show.

    Hey guys, Ben here from New Zealand! Can I suggest Foy Vance? He does an awesome cover of Billie Jean.

    Peace

    Why dont you put some stand-up stuff from Eddie Murphy! He is what the irish call the “Black irish” on account of his dark hair. He is irish american, does that count?
