I tend to sing Irish songs and Scottish songs and English songs with what I think is appropriate dialects, particularly if the lyrics contain that dialect....

I would agree I do not like to listen to it if it is done badly...I think I do it well. (Maybe Mudcatters who have heard me sing can speak to this) I studied and perfromed a lot of dielect in acting classes for years and also studied modern Irish and Gaelic and was always told by teachers my pronunciation was very good...

I can also speak in convincing dialects and accents...and sometimes do so in England so I am not thought a tourist. have fooled a great many people (I think, anyway).
