I've been finding the St. P's Day thing a little trickier the last few years - because while you want to have all the old chestnuts ready, in a lot of pubs where I am (Calgary, Alberta), people only want maybe one set of Irish, then back to the usual hoo-haw. And they don't sing along and get weepy with the old stuff, the way they used to. So, it depends on what sort of crowd you're expecting .... You do want to be able to pull out Danny Boy, Fields of Athenry ... I'll let everybody else chime in with the rest.
