So, what is a Gobshite, anyway? According to Larry Kirwan, lead singer
of the New York based Celtic Rock band Black 47:
"There's a subtle difference between an eejit and a gobshite. An eejit basically doesn't
know his arse from his elbow. A gobshite is full of shit but he knows
what's going on. He may even be intelligent. However, he is
opinionated and a large sized pain in the arse, but he may get you
drunk and fuck your girlfriend when you're taking a piss. That's the
Gobshites for you! They're full of it, but make no mistake about it;
they're going to make it. My concern is: when that great day comes,
will they be fucking my girlfriend in the back of their limo?"
The Gobshites can turn a traditional Irish standard into a rock & roll rave up. But turnabout being fair play, they will often transform punk rock songs like Black Flag's "Six Pack" or the Ramones "Long Way Back" into Irish Sing Alongs!
