A few years ago we were booked to play a st patricks night party for a bunch of expats in greece .now as a band GB  didnt travel light wealways had a light show an our own kick ass pa system ,ear bleeding loud so we set up and kev our suport act did his usual  60s pop thing and then we took to the stage starting off with a good irish song  whisky in the jar followed by 2 Rory Galagher songs and that about exausted our irish repertoire,so we continued with our usual rock and blues set only to be stopped by the organiser saying  that paddy murphys grandma or some other quaint irish person would now get up and perform unacomanied irish folk songs.Now had  we had earplugs and been paid upfront then I would have probably smiled and laughed it off however we hadnt been paid so my immediate thought was to start packing my gear and leave them to it .Anyway two drunken irish folksongs later the organiser is asking for some one out of the audience to help by singing some more irish songs,however the night was saved when the audience responded with bring the band back on..So we played for an hour and left saying thats the last st paddys night we will ever do.

No  rush Bill its  you  tube   that's  slow  for  some  reason the  vids  on my  lap top  take  longer than  the  one  from my  phone  to  load , 11mins  to  go... lol

Just uploading   it  to  you  tube  now  Bill  I  can only  find  the  rehearsal   vid  though  but  its  good  fun. it  will  be  on in about   1/2   an hour

Talking about howling we always used to finish with werewolves of london and wehad two guys in costume whod go through the audience with radio mics getting them to howl .I still have the masks.

While I find   the  bands  version  I  hope this  little  recording  will  suffice
