Hey all!

St Patty's day is coming up, and I'm sure we're going to busy.... yeah!

My gig is running from 3pm to 1am. Now admittedly, its also DJ work with karaoke.... but should be neat.

This is the second St Patty's day show I've done, but the previous was strictly karaoke, and for a much shorter time.

Anywho... I've got SC8737 Which has quite a few Irish Standards, but not all done to my taste. For example, Seven Drunken Nights only has five nights!

What is a great Irish Karaoke CD? What are some of the things you guys do for your St Patty's day show?

Whatever. The thread is a question about KJing on the holidiay, not the semantics of its pronuciation, spelling, or derivative thereof.

Can we please stay on topic?? Hmmm?

but, one of my favorites is Peg O' My Heart, which I don't see on any Irish disc. Also, no one has put one of my favorite songs, Clancy Lowered the Boom ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jftfhIBaOMQ ) on an Irish disc yet!! Also, the versions of Danny Boy need to be sloowwwer...

If you can still find it anywhere, Top Tunes TU-104 has a terrific collection done VERY well..

More likely than not, people will also want to sing Irish groups. I work in an Irish pub on Saturdays. Many of the favorite Irish groups that get sung are:

The Cranberries
Dexie's Midnight Runners
Enya
Flogging Molly
Sarah McLachlan
Van Morrison
Samantha Mumba
Anne Murray
Jamie O'Neal
Gilbert O'Sullivan
The Pogues
Them
Thin Lizzy
U-2

Question: What's Irish and stays out all night?

Answer: Patty O' Furniture.

If you want to put them to sleep ENYA is either Irish or Scotch either way she has some great music

then there was these 2 gay I rish guy's Henry Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzhenry

'sfunny, I thought they were Ben Doon and Phil McKrackin



sfunny, I thought she was Canadian, out of Nova Scotia?

Karaoke show from 8:30pm - 12:30am. We've got the whole party pack thing going on, derby's, tiara's, horns, leis, EVERYTHING GREEN. Restaurant is serving corned beef and cabbage. I'm sure they'll have green beer, they also have quite a variety of beers on tap, ales, etc. Don't know how much Irish music I have, but I don't think it'll make that much of a difference. Should have a pretty good turnout. People just LOVE a party.

Damfino. Just did a google of Irish singers, and her name came up with the others.

I DJ in an ACTUAL Irish bar. Not one of these "Rub my blarney stone, to be sure to be sure, my great great grandfather once met an irishman, that makes me irish, and we serve guiness" places.

On St Patricks Day (NOT Patty's, any Irishman would kill you where you stand) the place is packed. But in fairness, the karaoke is just more raucus than "themed". It's the rock songs, the big in your face ones. Not "Danny Boy" or anything by the Corrs.

In fact, thinking back, the only "Irish" song that was sung was "Whiskey In The Jar"...

I work an Irish pub too. Whiskey In The Jar almost every night, and occasionally Come On Eileen and some U2.

The Wolfe Tones - "Come Out Ye Black an' Tans"
