A friend of the lovable tufty topped Irish twins confirms Jedward
are secretly recording a collection of St Patrick's Day party favourites
with The Cheiftans and Shane MacGowan.

Teenagers will love this new trad folk craze

That is really, really bad news.

How can Jedward lower themselves to work with Shane MacGowan and the Chieftains?

I think that's great news. I LOVE the way that mainstream artists in Ireland dabble in their country's folksong.

I wish it happened in England. But contemporary fashions in singing folksongs have made many of them inaccessible to non folk audiences.

I've always thought Joe Cocker would be great singing Just as the tide was Flowing.

So they'll be doing:

- Dirty Old Town
- Shoals of Herring
- Fiddler's Green
- Mairi's Wedding
- Wild Mountain Thyme
- Wild Rover

... and any number of other "traditional Irish" songs, no doubt :-)

And probably McCartney's "Luck of the Irish" as well!

Galway Girl - that's now a favourite traditional Irish song, too.

McCartney's "Luck of the Irish"

"Luck of the Irish" was a Lennon song.

McCartney's Irish offering was "Give Ireland Back To The Irish"

The latest in the genre of:

Irish folk songs arranged in a style acceptable to people who don't really like Irish music.

Yerra what's the harm anyway - just good craic.
