Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Irish songs about balls, wakes, soirees
Here's one that maybe should be added: THE WEDDING OF JOCK MACKAY. Of course it doesn't quite fit the genre: it's ostensibly Scottish, not Irish, and nobody gets drunk or fights. But someone pointed out that it shares some verses with THE IRISH JUBILEE, so there may be an Irish connection after all.
