Ralph McTell – Streets Of London

Anyone who has ever been in a university dorm with someone who owns a guitar will be all too familiar with this classic. It must be up there with Dylan’s Blowin’ In The Wind as a favourite of drunken young hipsters everywhere across the Celtic Isles. Sadly, this song is relevant today as we face […]

MINDRIOT – I see the light

This band from Mitchelstown  (Gaelic: Baile Mhistéala) in County Cork are fairly new on the national scene. We can expect to hear a lot from them in the years ahead, if this great track is anything to go by. Rebel Voice – supporting home-grown music

Paul McCartney – Give Ireland Back To The Irish

This song by McCartney is explicit in its message and was banned at the time of its release as being unsuitable for public broadcasting. The video comes complete with Spanish subtitles. Look for McCartney’s ‘Che’ appearance.   Below is an image of McCartney that I found online. I have to ask, where is Ant?

Listening to this version of the Eagles classic, I had to fight the overwhelming urge to run of to Mexico, find a beautiful senorita, buy a rifle, and build an adobe house (still thinking about it).

‘Creep’ spoof cover by ‘Some F*#king People’

Folks, as someone who loves music, I gotta tell ya, this spoof cover of Radiohead’s Creep is better than the original. I don’t know who the vocalist is on this but she has a damn fine set of pipes on her. Very well done to all those involved on this project. It’s a great way […]

Lee Marvin – I Was Born Under A Wandering Star

This might be the only movie in which Clint Eastwood sings, as does that likeable rogue, Lee Marvin. There aren’t many who can get the their voice down as low as ole Lee. Paint your Wagon is not heard of much, but was a good laugh if nothing else.
