What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's?

I'll tell you one CD I will not be playing. A few years ago when I was new to Amazon, I went on looking for a CD of great Irish music with all the Favorites such as When Irish Eyes are Smiling. I picked one with the title Danny Boy that was reviewed with 5 stars. Upon playing it, I was surprised to find out that it consisted solely of 24 different versions of Danny Boy played on every conceivable instrument you can imagine. It was a great CD to threaten the kids with as punishment "If you dont stop being obnoxious, you'll have to go to your room and listen to this entire CD"

I'll be playing multiple albums (vinyl of course) by Ryan's Fancy. If you're not familiar, this group consisted of three gentlemen who immigrated to eastern Canada from Ireland back in the '60's. They were together for 20 some years before going their separate ways. They're legendary in my part of the world, and although the group is broken up, they are all still active in the music scene down east to varying degrees. The evening will be enhanced with some Irish beer, my favourite being Harp. Slainte.

I agree with the Popes, but I'd include their "Holloway boulevard. Also I'll play Van's Irish Heatbeat, Christy Moore, Susan McKeown, and the Pogues and Shane MacGowan's "The Snake".
