about

Celtic drinking songs are fun, and we like to write them.

lyrics

William's father had died in this place
Same day he buried his mother
Will he gets rutted here on this special day
But he can't this year
No he can't this year
Fecking Covid has closed all the pubs

Brendan was rotting in Castlerea Prison
When they let him out he left behind dreams and rats
His missus had waited, and when they were sated
He can't get a pint
Not a whiskey or two
Fecking Covid has closed all the pubs

So hoist 'em lads
And lasses too
The virus might keep us alone
But a whiskey and a pint
Is your god given right
It can't stop you from drinking at home

Fergal went roving round Monaghan one night
When he noticed he was outside the town
He found a door in the Hill of the Stone
Inside there was music
And whiskey and stout
Which was good, cause he'd closed all the pubs

When out he came
No one knew his name
So they moved him into St Davnet's
They let him out this year
He's in need of good cheer
But he can't get a pint
And he can't get a dram
Fecking Covid has closed all the pubs

So hoist 'em lads
And lasses too
The virus might keep us alone
But a whiskey and pint
Is your god given right
It can't stop you from drinking at home

Tonight at the edge of the wood I saw
The fetch of my own true self
As I approached, he fled on legs the wrong way round
Now my hair and beard has all gone white
Fecking Covid has closed all the pubs

The faerie ring
It seems to sing
The stones look like a mansion
My gran she said
No one can dance like the dead
I might as well get dancing
Fecking Covid has closed all the pubs

So hoist 'em lads
And lasses too
The virus might keep us alone
But a whiskey and a pint
Is your god given right
It can't stop us from drinking at home

So hoist 'em lads
And lasses too
The virus might keep us alone
But a whiskey and a pint
Is your god given right
It can't stop us from drinking at home

Sloar+Mordor Wisconsin

Once upon a time in the late 1980s, at Shell Lake Jazz Camp, a trumpet player and a bassist decided they liked making music together.

Then they lost touch for 25 years.

Thanks to the magic of the internet, they found each other again and are once again making music together. ... more
