Irish Muscian looking for holiday gigs - Page 2

Got to give it to Sonder rememebring a story from over 14 years ago. 

We Irish do treat our immigrants better. The Irish goverment is  giving out passports with any ner do well who claims Irish heritage. 

I would bet if they had a test similar to Spain a good majority of them would not pass. 

I have met quite a few English who, when I responded Dublin, to the question ''where are you from'' actually asked me, Is that Northern or Southern Ireland? Are you a Catholic or Protestant? 

I love the look on thier faces when I respond 'No I a holy Tadgh Agnostic' 

One person actually asked  ''Was I happy when our soldiers where patrolling your streets keeping you safe from terrorists during the war?''

Wow way off topic now  

Interesting twist to the original topic - At this moment I'm listening to Irish Radio and Kate Bush singing Bean in Éirinn* (Woman in Ireland) in the Irish language - What a fantastic rendition too? We'll have to give her an Irish  Passport asap.

*Official Title:- Mná na hEireann (Women of Ireland) - It's on Youtube and worth a listen - it's not the kind of song you'd sing in the Irish Rover Karaoke slot. [in our house the song is known as Bean in Éirinn - first words in the song]. 

Back on topic 

Your friend could always try busking 

After all could they be any worse than the chap who murders good songs at the markets with his saxkaroke 🎷 

If I had a stall there I would give him money just to make him go away. 

Sorry if there are fans of his it's just my opinion makes my ears bleed just recalling having heard him one day up at the Pubelo market could hear the caterwauling as far away as the square outside the ayuntamiento

Matty on the subject of Irish passports,I worked in Aghada for 10 weeks and my Mother is Jockanese would I qualify for 1

Just fill out your application form online. Then it’s up to the Irish authorities to accept or reject. Go for it! Perhaps your grandchildren will wear the emerald green?

We were in Aghada last weekend. I hadn’t known it was used as a port for seaplanes by the forerunner of the RAF. Nice Spot too!
