Annie May, your quote reminded me of the time when I played the pubs in West Cork in the 90s. Annie May's in Skibbereen was one of them. I did for a fee plus pints of Murphy's. I did it several times before a new barman said he'd been told by the owners to stop the free drink (no more than 3 pints and tea for the missus). So that's another reason I left old Skibbereen, and very quickly....
