Advantages: This album WILL make you smile

Disadvantages: Only the bad language if you've small kids

No matter how hard Irish people try to escape the stereotype of the drunken weeping gambler, while this music is out there they'll never quite succeed!

Listening to this album is like walking into the rowdiest bar in Dublin on St. Patrick's day.

From the opening bars of "If I should fall..." you know you're onto something pretty special, and boy - do they follow up!

Anyone who ever got drunk at the races will recognise the sentiment behind "Bottle of Smoke", and I think just about everyone will know "Fiesta".

This album does have a softer side though. Between "Fairytale of New York" and "The Broad Majestic Shannon" it's enough to bring a tear to your eye.

Something for everyone (except maybe the kids with the language on it).
