Thread Name: Songs to entertain the Irish Elders
Subject: Songs to entertain the Irish Elders
Its that time of year again and I've got a gig entertaining at the Irish Elders Sheffield St Pat's lunch. ( Two of them this time - lunches not elders).

I found that it has to be at least two to one chorus to non-chorus and its not a good place to try and do anything they don't know. The main problem I have is that I didn't learn these songs at my mother's knee , although I can get away with throwing a couple of very well known Scottish ones in - the success of the Skye boat song rather threw me last year. I think I'm probably missing some of the obvious ones.

So please throw some songs at me.
