I haven't heard The Bridies but I gather they're the New Hot Thing in Ireland. This song is off their new CD "13" and was described by the Irish American News as "...the cleverest, most hysterical, intelligent and satirical take on Ireland in decades... the song takes an insightful, devastating and loving look at Irish rural culture."

Any song that garners that many adjectives is one I've got to hear. Does anyone have the lyrics?

Cheers,
Michael

At The Bridies' web page, there's a track list for "13" which contains some very brief (20-second) sound samples for a few tracks, but not NICE BIT A'HAM.

I did listen to a few samples, and I couldn't see anything hysterical or satirical about them; just straightforward good performances of Irish music. Maybe I'm missing something.
