Here's the stuff we are working up: Songs: The Rising of the Moon Whiskey in the Jar The Stolen Child The Ancient and Old Irish Condom Molly Malone The Irish Ballad (Rickety Tickety Tin) and a bunch of other Irish and semi-Irish songs. Tunes: Rakes of Kildare Washerwoman -- of course Paddy on the Turnpike Red Haired Boy AKA Little Beggerman Rose of Sharon Cuckoo's Nest Smash the Windows Lots of other Irish sounding jigs and reels We always begin each set with a taste of The Irish Washerwoman and we end each set with some various arrangement of Danny Boy (Londondary Air) Just the same, in spite of our best efforts, we usually get physically attacked at least once during the course of the evening. It's a ritual thing.
