Well, Ryan, I think the thing about folk music is it gives people like us an opportunity to come on the Late Late and try to prolong our careers that bit longer.

Disclaimer: I've no idea how their careers are going. Hope they're doing well. Just being a bit bitchy, that's about it.

I’m an old soul..enjoying this!

RobertKK

The Irish Rover will win...

FixdePitchmark

Bad pub singers on live tv - to be honest.

Atlantic Dawn

We should bring back the Guinness boats for Brexit

Marengo

Fiachna O’Braonain... it’s all very deep.

Then Tubs goes Monto

RobertKK

Its oral red light district song.

SEPT 23 1989

The state of that set

"It's colourless. It's odourless. It's hard to detect. But carbon monoxide deserves your respect. It'll kill you stone dead in just three minutes flat. And if you don't believe me ask me poor ould uncle Pat".

Absolute classic.

In all seriousness, my three picks would be Grace, Old Man and Parting Glass. Three beautiful laments.

Good man tubs fit the red light district and oral in to one sentence

Parting Glass is one of my favorite ever songs. Voice Squad version especially

The fascinating thing about all of this is the flagrant filler that this all is. THEY JUST do not have anyone to invite on the show. So they have this kind of sentimental auld guff. Felim Drew does voiceovers, Mary Black's niece gets a promo. Yer man from the hot house flowers reminds us he's still around.

Oh jesus

Me too. She had a fabulous voice. I always thought it was a pity she didn't extend her choice of songs. She sang a lot of Jimmy McCarthy stuff which I felt didn't do her justice.

The Late Late Show version of that is shambolically utterly brilliant.

Did Jimmy McCarthy write the song " bright blue rose. " ?

They should do an annual LLS folk music show, in or around Paddy's Day.
