Went on sometime after 10pm.The show started off weak... but got better and better as the night went on.The band was really tight.... Shane was a mess.  Couldn't understand one single word unless he was singing.Fairytale In New York for an encore, with fake snow falling was great.

Irish music is like nails on a chalkboard to me.  It honestly
nauseates me.  Maybe it's because I'm not Irish, but I could give
a flying fuck about Donegal, the battles with the English, how much
beer and whiskey you drank, or the "bonnie lass" who broke your
heart.  Shut the fuck up.Thank God St. Patrick's day only comes once a year.And while you're at it, stick those bagpipes up your ass.Simply awful.

I think hearing bagpipes play "Amazing Grce" at a funeral is one of the most emotional things I ever hear.

I'm a real sucker for bagpipes. I get all choked up when I hear "Its a Long Way To The Top if You Wanna Rock and Roll" by ACDC.

I can listen to the very slow Irish music sometimes if I'm in the mood.  Most of the rest of it kinda sounds the same to me but that might only be because I'm not up on it.I have no real problem with it.

I know you guys will think I'm exaggerating just to make a point, but I swear to you by all I hold dear that Irish music makes me physically ill.  I don't know why, but the few times when I've been in Irish pubs or at festivals and have been forced to hear it (even when I wasn't drinking) I developed a pounding migraine headache and vomited.  I'm being 100% honest.  Something about the sound and rhythm is completely contrary to my physical well being.  Rap music is the only thing that comes close to making me react so negatively to sound.  You can choose to disbelieve and begin thinking I'm nuts, but I'd swear to everything I just wrote in a court of law.

Bagpipes are in the key of B-Flat.  That is the constant droning note underneath the melody. Just useless info I felt like passing along.Songs in the key of Vomit

I just wanted to let you all know I found the perfect way to spend St. Pat's - in a Chinese restaurant.  We were literally the only ones there and no Irish music whatsoever.  I'm going to make it a tradition.

I actually enjoy Irish music.  I also like polka too.  I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

GVAC, I always dug your opinion, but you really are
coming off as one of those guys that think "the only good music was
from when the Beatles got together to when Led Zep broke
up".   Irish music has permeated so much of modern music it's
almost impossible to list.  AC/DC is a good example though.  
 I know, I know........all the old time
"rockers" can't abide by rap.  " It's just mary had a little lamb,
with bitches"  It just comes off very negative and
narrow.    Are we to assume that you don't like Van Morrison, or Thin Lizzy as well? This
isn't any kind of personal attack.  Not even a little bit.  I
just find it so hard to believe people would dismiss an entire genre of
music ( country included.) out of hand.  Sure not all of it 
is for everyone.  But to say it's ALL bad........sounds a little
...........I don't know..........closed minded?

Grendel, I assure you I'm not close minded at all when it comes to
music. My taste ranges from Classical to Blues to Pop to Soul to
R&B to Jazz to Funk to Folk to Rock to....well, you get the
picture. And I believe Van (The Man) Morrison is the
greatest white soul singer to ever walk the face of this earth. I
also love U2 as well. It's the old Irish folk tunes that really
turn my stomach for some reason. I'm not dismissing the
musicianship of the genre, I'm just stating how it personally affects
me. It literally makes me ill. I have no idea why,
it's just the way it is. I'm sure there are some people who see
no merit to 50's Doo Wop, but I can listen to it all day long. One
of the coolest things about music is how personal it is to
everybody. If Irish music gets you off, more power to you.
Just know I'll never be "converted" and I'll never understand it. Now let's all put on something we can all agree on and dance the night away!<img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/36/Bee_Gees_Stayin_Alive.jpg/225px-Bee_Gees_Stayin_Alive.jpg" />
