Ah the power of the PA. It's a dangerous item, but boy is it FUN!! Ok, Ok, we can tone it down a bit. That's the other lovely thing about it though, you can just sing, nice and easy, and put all of that power into espression, rather than volume. We do a pretty hard hitting rendition of The Ploughboy Lads where I come from, good strong guitar beat, low, heavy fiddle, a bit of base and some drums and nice, strong, (but not overly loud) vocals.

Oh when I was naught but sweet sixteen With beauty charms a blooming It's little little did I think At nineteen I'd be grievin

Oh the ploughboy lads, they're all braw lads But they're false and they're deceiving Thay'll take your all and thay'll gang awa And leave the lassies grieving.
