Is it wrong to be listening to Scottish music on St Patrick's Day?

Although this first video's pictures are actually of Ireland, not Glasgow--the German who uploaded it didn't quite get the disconnect. But they are lovely:

Battlefield Band, 'Dear Green Place'


Silly Wizard, 'Donald McGillavry'

Having a Scottish music interlude...

:)

You've got to love little plastic men taking heads to great Scottish music

Someone set Silly Wizard's song 'Donald McGillavry' to ROBLOX, a Lego-like online game.


:) Now there's a find produced through insomnia. Good night (well, what's left of it). Really.

A bit of Scots

If you want a translation of the Scots words, the lyrics appear when you click the down arrow at the description on the video's page.

Every band I've ever heard do this song seems bent on pacing it as quickly as possible, sometimes to an insane degree. :)

In a bit of a Scottish music mood

[If you don't understand Scots (and I seem to have a genetic understanding for some reason at times), the lyrics including translations are under 'more info' at the video's page.]



During the Potato famine, part of the Irish Diaspora found its way to Scotland, to the factories of its cities.

Two of my favourite Scottish songs

'The Dear Green Place' by Battlefield Band


(The 'Dear Green Place' is another name for Glasgow, by the way.)

'Donald McGillavry' by Silly Wizard
