Recorded in June 2007. Our Ireland Tour Group had spent a day on the road, and I was in the mood for a pint and a song. So I led the vast majority of the tour group in a quest to find a pub with Irish traditional music. There was none that night. So twenty of us took over a pub. I played music, and we all drank and sang. By the end of the evening, I was… a bit intoxicated. So the music get sloppier, I screwed up more lyrics as the evening progressed. This is live and untethered. So you'll hear singing-a-long, people bashing things on tables, toasts, out-of-tune vocals, and lots of drinking. So
Be Warned!
Okay, I broke down and decided to release this show. Because you begged. There's a LOT of music, and it was fun for us, but it is not all that. It was extremely raw and untethered. And as I drank more and more alcohol, my language got fouler. So again, you are warned. And as a result of lack of desire to release this show, it is priced rather high. Sorry. That's the way the it goes.
