I've watched my beautiful country strangulated by greed, indifference and recession until I'd forgotten what my grandfather fought for. Rich and self-important for too long, we mocked and belittled our artists, starved them of funds and made them dispensable. Now, bereft of pride, slapped back down to reality, we find them still here singing songs that remind us of who we are and why we should be proud to be Irish.
I *love* that you caught his banter before the song..."we sidestep, guffaw, slip into nonsense..." LOL, priceless! And you panned your camera over my husband and me at :25. Thanks so much for posting this!
@johnfitz441992 I know, I meant that he should be more popular in the UK, he really is under-rated here
