That's the thing though isn't it?! If people took time to listen to most of the songs, they would probably find some relation to the song. They are so universal but personal at the same time.0 -
So you've never disliked/criticised anything unless you've a flair for the discipline yourself Bonito...?Written/sang any good tunes yourself?
I second TheMaster's choice.
Generally dislike the Saw Doctors - too culchie-tastic, that's my opinion... but I do admit they take a slightly tongue-in-cheek approach at times, and I'd Love To Kiss The Bangles makes me laugh. :pac:0 -

Thats the thing though, wouldn't blame anyone for disliking the whole culchie-tastic thing but they really have grown and developed over the years, as groups tend to do. It's worth listening to some of the songs mars bar mentioned0 -

Unfortunately, I now associate that song with funerals after Leo sang it at my next door neighbours funeral.
Lovely song.0 -

when i was a kid, that stretch of the n17 from tuam to galway was far and away the best road in the west of irelandIt is a short 139km drive, that on a decent road would take less than an hour, but on a bad day, can take over 2.5 hours.
less than an hour to do 139km :eek: thats almost 90mph0 -

And Ireland. If I'm on a motorway here, I usually stick the cruise control at around 130km/ph and would be overtaken by cars quite regularly.0 -

The borders are long gone now though...:(
You can take the girl out of the boarding school but you can't take the boarding school out of the girl. I have fond memories of two year relationship with a lad from the town. My mother kept me under lock and key at home so I had to take advantage of the nuns. 0 -

Has to be N17, but only the older version when he still has the rough edge to his voice, eg on nighthawks in their prime

Most Saw Doctors fans will have seen this but for anyone else here is an excellent version of Never mind the Strangers
"We've gone further than we ever dreamt from our County Galway town"

Wait. Come to think of it, no. I've never knocked something without trying it. I've also never been overly critical about something I don't like. I tend to stay away from things I don't like rather than look for them and burst in with a "rabble rabble rabble ye're shíte, I'm better rabble rabble rabble I wont prove it, though rabble rabble rabble"So you've never disliked/criticised anything unless you've a flair for the discipline yourself Bonito...?

Wow there is some real ignorance in this thread.
The Saw Doctors are so under rated it's criminal.
The amount of people who can't look past their image and actually listen to the songs is amazing.
Forget about the Joyce Country Bands and the Hay Wraps and listen to the classic pop songs these guys write or the Dylan/Springsteen style stories of Heartbreak and longing for something better.
Everyone should listen to Same Oul' Town album or their last album The Cure before judging them in this manner.
I don't understand all this talk of culchies and boggers it's like you are ashamed of being where you are from. You should embrace your culture and surroundings and stop knocking those who aren't afraid to be themselves.
I hope Darragh will raise some of the insults and opinions that have come up in this thread with the band today to hear what they think of these opinions.
There is a reason these guys are still around 20 years later and a lot of other Irish bands are not.
These guys know who they are and don't try to fit into the mold that some seem to want from their music.
As for an old song can you get to play 'out for a smoke' or 'wake up sleeping'
If any up and coming Irish band had a new single like this, it would be all over the airwaves.
When the time comes and it will, that people not only want but truly need music that matters in their lives, it is then that The Saw Doctors will prevail.0 -
