BOS  Rory Gallagher   and this Irish roadhouse bloozy number, Country Mile.

  It's NTM... I have a Rory Gallagher DVD at home somewhere.  I should trot it out.

First repeat from last year's set: Stiff Little Fingers, Alternative Ulster.

quiet fun...

oops, here's more "fiddly idee doo" from, sounds like the Pogues and the Irish Rovers?  or more likely Shane McGowan singing w the Irish Rovers.  

(A friend will be seeing the Pogues in NYC tonight... I wish I was in NYC right now at their St Pat's Parade.)

Or maybe the Chieftains w/ Shane? I didn't think it sounded exactly Pogue-like, but then there was McGowan's voice.

here's your Whisky in A Jar.   BOS Thin Lizzy, always.

I watched some PSB show where Frank McCourt did a tour of Irish pubs and he recounted how the phrase "whisky in the jar" came about: during WWII glass manufacturing was restricted due to scarcity of materials and energy, so ceramic jam jars were often used at pubs to serve the working class.


ETA: Of course, Frank was pulling our leg.  he likes a good story he does.  

Seems like the song started long before WWII ever happened, per wikipedia:

Can't say I've especially enjoyed anything in this set, so halfhearted BOS to Sinead.

The Emporer's New Clothes 

guess the Emperor buys his clothes at the Emporium?

ETA: AL just posted a clip of Horslips doing a song called "King of the Fairies". I'm surprised Horslips have even *heard* of Jobriath!

fwiw, I would have ID'd the Clannad song, I have the CD & it's really good IMO.  There are at least two tracks I like even better than this.  I might have gotten Horslips, I still have a couple of theirs on vinyl, but haven't played them in forever.
