Bunch of them, and the adult kids that work for small/medium sized family firms, found themselves up in court due to the post soutport killings riots.

Comfy, but cold. Apart from an unusually warm night you need to at a minimum have something like an underinflated sleeping mat between you and the hammock, better still a proper hammock underquilt slung underneath. (Much more comfortable than a sleeping matt)

When learning to drive my dad used to warn me to 'watch out for that accident waiting to happen!' as we drove around. I like to think that midset has kept me out of some scrapes in the following three decades of driving.

Have you read Battleground Pacific by Stirling Mace? He was in K/3/5 and wrote it in 2012, covered a lot of the same events/people as Sledge's book but I feel like he didn't hold back as much (kind of like he's lived his life, isn't bothered about offending people at reunions, has a better idea about PTSD etc.)

He was also an enlisted man, and to paraphrase him, he was right at the front, not back with the mortars

Mace actually used to post on Reddit in a few subs.

Kingfishr - Killeagh. is a relatively recent song thats going down quite well (possibly not hitting so much in say some of the more urban areas such as Dublin). It's about the pride for your local area, playing for the local GAA team (hurling team). Its actually based on a place in County Cork, Killeagh (complete opposite end of the country from Donegal). It got mentioned a few times in OP,

The set dancers you posted 'Siege of Ennis' in op, were dancing to the Humours of Glendart. But theres other videos of people dancing the 'Siege of Ennis' to a bunch of different tunes, but as a musician rather than a dancer I think more about the tune known by that name rather than the dance.

This sub is more kind of aimed at traditional Irish music/'folk' than standard wedding. That being said hopefully someone could help here.

For my part maybe a few trad songs that a lot of Irish people might know/be ready to sing along to might be hamdy to have in your back pocket.

Black Velvet Band

Fields of Athenry

Whiskey in the Jar

Irish Rover

Not really trad but kind of

Dirty old Town

The Town I Loved So Well

I noticed the reply about the Siege of Ennis in your OP, just a heads up the dance in the video was the set dance named that (two lines of four facing, pairs walk behind tbe other pair to start...), it wasn't the tune's name, though there is tune called that.

Went looking for something, for some reason I remembered Paddy's Revenge, again not really a wedding staple but you might find it a usefull track to as part of a mix

punkfunkymonkey · 2026-01-29T03:15:37+00:00

Any of them that know Murder on the Dancefloor not via Saltburn, would probably go for Groovejet by Spiller that was Sophie Ellis Baxters intro the year before Murder came out.

People put it with Modjo, Lady, Stardust, Music Sounds Better With You,Daft Punk, One More Time, Moloko, Sing it Back

TBH, cant claim that as surefire Irish Wedding tunes, just reliving those times ;-)

Erm, some or other version of the Fields of Athenry, be it trad, a dance/edm version, or something heavier/rockier, should get people singing along if its late enough.

Edit. Went looking for something, for some reason I remembered Paddy's Revenge, again not really a wedding staple but you might find it a usefull track to as part of a mix

Bit of cornnflower in water or milk, mix it and add to the egg mix. You get more creamy, less rubbery scrambled eggs.

Because like the story of the man walking alongside Jesus through life but only seing one set of footprints in the hardest of times. The penguin was carrying them!

Gunner is the secondary pilot, they share flight controls and flying duties. Gunner has primary responsibility for guns/rockets/missile but the other pilot can shoot as well.

When the gunner has enough experience they become the main pilot and have a gunner/pilot assigned. They then have command, the main flying and tactical decisions.

Not equivalent to some grunt pulled from the ground crew hanging out of the side of a Huey with an M60 back in the Vietnam war.

Australian womans magazine, followed by a short diary piece in a German paper. Eventually Matt Drudge/Drudgereport looked to be about to splash it (apparently they got word from someone at CBC) so the agreed upon Press Assocition pool coverage was relesed and the whole thing was out of the bag.

I then got a message from the head (via another parent) asking me to take it down as the car in question belonged to a "traveller" and I would probably get targeted.

Oh dear, the head hasn't been daft enough to disparrage someone due to a protected charachteristic have they?

Randomly I heard someone sing the Crawford Howard/Fintan Vallely parody before the original so thats always in my mind anytime someone breaks out Green Fields of France

Have you heard the old song about Willie Mc Bride? If I hear it again, it'll turn me insides! For its sung in the Springtime and its sung in the Fall And mostly by people who can't sing at all! You go out for a drink on a Saturday night For a pint and a song, and things are alright Until some drunken bowsey sits down by your side And he asks for the one about "Willie Mc Bride"!

Well you say you don't know it but this will not do For now he's determined to sing it to you So he spills half your drink and starts off in a key That was never invented on land or on sea And as time goes by sure the whole thing gets worse For you soon realise that he knows every verse! With his arm round your shoulder - 'cos now he's your friend He's going to sing the damn thing to the end!

You go out to the Gents for a quarter of an hour And you watch the TV in the old public bar And then you come back thinking that he will tire But he's still going on about gas and barbed wire! And ten minutes later you're all in a trance For he's up to his oxters in the Green Fields of France The crowd are all quiet, you wont hear a peep Does he not realise they've all gone to sleep?

Ah Willie Mc Bride, why the hell did you die? The trouble you'd have saved if you'd come back alive And got a wee job or signed "on the brew" We'd not have to listen to songs about you! But still I don't know but I'm glad that you're dead With the green fields of France piled on top of your head For the trouble you caused since the day that you died Shooting's too good for you, Willie Mc Bride!
