With all that joy you’ve had in your life it’s a shock that you’re such a negative miserable cunt who worships a made up character on the internet

Fuck off out of this thread with your lickspittle negativity.
Irish culture is something to be cherished. The real essence of it, as @HBV described, when it comes together there is nothing like it

No difference to any other time, so.
You’ve Sid following you around now, you’ve rattled him good and proper.
Where else would you see the likes of that? I actually remarked to myself at one stage the distinct lack of our coloured brothers around the streets, so it’s lovely to see it.
I was watching an hour of fleadh TV there early, it would bring a lump to your throat. It’s very very very Good. I have the 3 nights taped so thats the next month TV covered for me.
No fleadh for Ennis next year.
Only 25 turned up for the Wolfe Tones concert

I’m sitting here drinking a bottle of whiskey watching Martin Hayes fiddling on rte 1

He footers over the top of it. If he wasn’t miked you wouldn’t hear him behind a paper bag. That’s not to dismiss his feel or talent but he may as well be playing the kazoo… Or the concertina
Hes no Brian Rooney thats for sure
Would you often spend your spare time watching other grown men fiddle?

Watching a bit of this gloaming concert. Seems a lot of pretentious auld scutter.
Bit of the riverdance about it, harmless enough way to accumulate a few quid though
It’s a nice way to wind down the night at any rate
