The Pogues & The Dubliners - Jack's Heroes 7'' (1990)

Well I enjoyed listening to that last one so much,I'm gonna give you another. This was actually The Republic Of Ireland's offical football song for the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Traditionally,football songs are a bag of shite (except for "Blue Is The Colour" and "Blue Day" of course) but not so in this particular case. I always loved the video for this one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wotxd2uqP1c The B side is the classic Thin Lizzy's Whiskey In The Jar (R.I.P. Phil Lynott)

Slurp up that Guiness and enjoy!

The Pogues & The Dubliners - The Irish Rover 7'' (1987)

Punk Friction is pleased to announce that technical differculties have now been resolved. Itunes and QuickTime were joint offenders and after 48583893932 reinstallations and reboots,things are now working smoothly again.

Well its now St Patricks Day and to celebrate heres the classic Irish Rover by The Pogues and The Dubliners. For Irish people everywhere - have a great day and happy hangovers!

Unfortunately Ronnie Drew passed away last year (R.I.P) after a long illness. The way his unique voice complimented Shane Macgowan's makes this an excellent song. Love the B side as well.


Tracks


1) The Irish Rover
2) The Rare Ould Mountain Dew
