As far as I'm concerned they do not beat Flogging Molly.

Flogging Mellie?
But kinkiness aside, it was a great show. Far too short for me. Martin Fey wasn't there, but they had a terrific young fiddler from P.E.I. sitting in (he had the look of a punk--would fit in quite well with Flogging Molly). Derek was characteristically devilish with his quiet subversive demenor. Matt Malloy, Kevin Conneff (what a voice) and Seán Keane were all wonderful. And Himself? Paddy Maloney was wonderful.
There was a world-weariness that only added another layer to the patina. Next week they release their 39th album, in honour of their 40th anniversary as a group. Right up there with the Rolling Stones and the Dead.
When they came out, they did a couple of numbers, and then Paddy addressed the audience, in Irish, as though he had momentarily forgot he wasn't in the Gaelteachta--just like on a live album I bought twenty-years ago. Plus ça change, plus ça meme chose.
Fair play to 'em.

Glad you enjoyed the show - made me think of Quiet Galway pubs, drinking guiness, enjoying the craic and listening to the music - also reminded me of smokey Birmingham pubs; lock-ins to the early hours listening to some of the best Irish musicians I have ever heard - them were the days!!!
