PumpActionPaddy2

During a regular Rum Brothers Thursday night practice session in late 2008, we inadvertently recorded this version of the totally great, but very un-PC song, 'Pump Action Paddy' by the fabulous London Irish band The Popes (Shane MacGowan's accompaniasts when he's not with The Pogues). The images and clips in the film are from general Rum Brother Life - busking, gigging, drinking and generally floppin' about in the Fine East Anglian city of Norwich.

Cheers mate - it's a great song off a great album, but you're right - not very well known I think.
