PS- An All-Irish St. Patrick's Day 10@10 coming up!  Name your favorite Irish band, song or artist!!

So who should we suggest, outside of the usual suspects (Van, T'in Lizzy, Sinead, U2, et al)?

Given the direction AL has taken the sets, I'd be shocked if they weren't. But even Dave played the Pogues in a few St. Paddy's sets.

I'd be overjoyed if AL played Gilbert O'Sullivan. Seriously. And methinks we'll get some Eva Cassidy.

BTW, I've looked everywhere for green Hostess Sno-Balls (the annual St Pat's treat) to no avail. But I'm pleased to report McDonald's is selling Shamrock Shakes, at least here in SF.

they can't call it a milkshake for legal reasons, but I'd still like to get one.... 

btw, I can't post to this board from work, but I've been listening as usual each day.  Just want to let everyone know I'm lurking!   :)

I can't make out a single word.  Except "Ulster".

And that's the key.  It's "Alternative Ulster" by Stiff Little Fingers.  (looked it up)

Well, credit AL for a bustout, then.

I had to google song 3, it's Rory Gallagher, also a bustout: "Walk on Hot Coals"

Here's yer Thin Lizzy, but a bustout tune, I'd wager.

Oh, guess not since it's "Whiskey in the Jar".  But I'm not familiar with it.
