OH dear.. now I'm going to disagree with you all.....

I HATE hearing Aussies trying to do Irish accents. some of them do it well and that is OK... but I have heard so many trying to sing like Christy Moore because they happen to be singing a Christy Moore song. And if you ever hear "Reel in the flickering light"(or should I say "loight" done by someone who is not even close to the accent it is downright painful!

If you are going to do an accent.... please try to get it at least partly right. There's nothing worse than a song that starts sort of Irish by the next verse is sort of Scottish, 3rd verse German with a hint of Welsh etc.....

I have the problem in reverse.. I sing with aussies and do a lot of aussie songs and my accent is hugely different to theirs on certain words..... but I'm outnumbered 4 to 1 so I will go with their pronounciation so as the band as a whole doesn't sound odd. but if I'm singing on my own... it'll be in my accent.
