I am the rare one who neither loves nor hates Dropkick Murpheys. I came back and listened to your suggestions. I always get the feeling they are trying too hard and I really want to like them. These days, I don't have time to listen to a lot of music, but I can only go a few weeks without hearing "Fairytale of New York". Why DID Paul Brady pitch over Trad Irish? Here is my irish music... https://www.openculture.com/2023/12/shane-macgowan-sinead-oconnor-duet-together-performing-a-moving-rendition-of-haunted-rip.html
I did not even know they were still around. Thanks for this. Another Substack writer recently wrote how in his youth Fairport Convention changed his life. As much as I like Richard Thompsen, that English folk tradition does nothing for me. Give me The Pogues and Sinéad O'Connor. The crowd that showed up for Paul Brady's The Vicar St. Sessions, that's amazing. Straighten out the whole Celtic thing for me. Why did Van Morrison write "Dweller on the Threshhold"?

Very cool… 😎
What platform do you use to listen to musi? Do you have playlists we can check out/follow you on? I’m curious
I'll give in and start a spotify account or something
Thanks. Great music. Gritty.
