i have a gig in a Local GAA(gaelic games) club on saturday, not being irish myself, can anybody suggest any great irish themed songs to play for a girls 21st. I am looking for more updated versions of the usual irish
music you get in pubs etc.

thanks
DJ S

Paddys Revenge - Steve Mac

I had a predominently Irish crowd at last saturdays wedding.....

They asked me to play....

The Saw Doctors - N17

They might like that depending on what kind of music their into.
My crowd certainly went wind for it.

Sham rock do some uptempo remixes of the classic irish songs.Tel me ma leaving of liverpool ect.

I do believe theres an Irish clubland disc too and a scottish one look on play.com.

Don't touch the Irish Clubland god awful stuff

Being from Ireland and based there I play these at weddings. Always gets em going

I agree Paul and they are god awful but he was looking for updated versions.

One I did get asked for by two or three of the Irish folk at the wedding was.....

Fields of afenrye (SP? I think thats what they said)

I had a club remix of it, but didnt think they would apreciate it, so didnt play it.

And yes their is a few "Irish Clubland" discs around, they would be worth a punt too I reckon.

opps....my mistake.....

"Fields Of Athenry"

Its on this Irish Clubland disc.

Also try......Whiskey in the jar and The Wild Rover



Yea I agree.....Irish Clubland stuff would be good for a 21st, maybe not the norm at a wedding but for a bunch of 20 somthings it would be great.

Most of the young crowds I play to (here in Northern Ireland) wouldn't tolerate any of the crap of the Irish Clubland albums. There are a few good dance mixes of Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol and then there are the Irish acts that all genrations love. Many have been metioned above but also:

Teenage Kicks - Undertones
Fiesta - Pogues
Any U2

fields of athenry brush shields this version
shamrock tell me ma
brendan shine your old lobby washed down
richie kavanagh the mobile phone
altan insrumental
riverdance
theres another couple to get the party started

End of the night tune Aslan-Crazy world. You need to check if they like that tune as it has a big chav following.
