John Windsor - Wild Rover - Vintage March 14, 2002

This is vintage video of the young and mustachioed and legendary John Windsor in Las Vegas performing the Irish classic The Wild Rover.

When performed live in a pub setting, or for an audience, it is a custom for the participants to bang on the table or clap their hands in cadence four times during the break in the chorus, thus: And it's no, nay, never (clap - clap - clap - clap) no, nay, never, no more... Also during the break some scream "lift up your kilts" (or skirts) in cadence to the clap. In Ireland this is replaced by "rise up your pints!" and all assembled raise their glasses and toast the chant.

This video was captured on March 14 2002, technology was primitive at the time. The video was captured with the Sony DSC-S85.
