Here's the thing about Irish folk music. It's incredibly lively, enthusiastic and enjoyable....for about three songs.....then it becomes unbearable, repetitious, ear stabbing gobshite......UNLESS YOU'RE DRUNK! After all the antidote to anything tedious or less than interesting. ALCOHOL! St Patrick's day is a dope holiday. Day drinking in March with a bunch of people in a tent. Tailgating without a purpose. You show up at 10am and go home absolutely sh*t canned at 2pm. Plus I consider it the unofficial start of spring. Cause if you didn't already know. Winter is garbage.
