Saint Bushmill's Choir is a 7 piece Irish influenced punk band comparable to Flogging Molly or Firewater, but with some distinct differences...."The Choir" emerged from the Seattle peace-punk underground and claims former members of The Gits, Subvert, and The Pinkos. Unrelenting punked-out Irish jigs and expert musicianship recalls The Pogues, Stiff Little Fingers, or dare I say it, The Clash. (taken from the official website)
Sadly, the Choir is no longer together. But they did leave us with one hell of an album. If you, for some reason, do not own a copy, check these websites.

We hope they are entertaining, or at least boring enough to inspire you to write a song.
Wake! Wake! Wake!
Have you, then, retired for the R.I.P.? because we know one pint would surely wake you by the very smell, nay, the very existence. And we know at least two pints exist always, somewhere in Creation.
Why not take upon yourselves a task, and in so doing, return to something pure, good, possibly holy?
That task would be a recording, or, best, a rapid return to World Tour music concert.
So we haven't seen Guinness for some time.
Oughtn't he to be givin' the liquid for free?
Parading around on a yacht as if he couldn't give free beer to the world.
No, one gallon of the black stuff for his boat goes down quicker than one pint of the dark stuff for the lads.
