The Wran sung here by the Clancy Brothers. Lads used to go out to hunt the wren, a tiny tweedy bird found in Ireland and considered "King of All Birds" for its cleverness, on St Stephen's Day, and parade from house to house disguised in straw masks and motley, getting cups of tea and glasses of whiskey and a few shillings towards their party. Still done in a few places today, but without the cruel wren-hunting.
