Greyeyes is about right - it's just that the song is often belted out drunkenly without much regard to the ears of the audience! To be fair, the Goleen crowd are very welcoming to anyone who treats traditional song with respect - which doesn't really mean the almost sacred reverence perhaps implied in the article. They are quiet when someone is singing - but its an engaged, listening quiet, rather than "dead" silence. One of my earliest memories of singing there is of having to rapidly adjust the timing of a comic song to leave room for the laughter of people who were actually listening to the damn thing!
