New Podcast – Finnegan’s Wake
This was one of the first Irish songs I ever learned from some cassette of Irish drinking songs. It’s about Tim Finnegan who dies and a wake is held in his honor. It quickly turns into a free-for-all. Even death, it’s terrible thing to waste good alcohol. I parodied this song on Irish Drinking Songs […]
iPhone Brilliance

That’s because there are only a limited number of Celtic wedding artists out there. Rather, many Celtic musicians are happy to play, but only a few […]
Podcast of Awesome – Wizard Rock
So have you heard of Wizard Rock? Wizard Rock is a fairly new musical movement that started in 2002. The songs are all based on, you guessed it, the characters in JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series. It’s highly focused filking about those killer books. I got an email a few weeks back from Ashley who […]
