Well, that was superb!! Excellent… Thanks for posting!
Great bunch of lads
Cracking. There was a guy called Hareem who played a bit of Irish music in Korea. Whistle in a Maze was one of his tunes. There was another band called Second Moon who were pretty good.
It’s interesting and weird. I’ve played a lot of trad in closed sessions over the decades. Love to see their enthusiasm, and they seem very musically precise and competent — but the energy is so, so far off, and I can’t quite pin down why?
They’re playing the tempo fast, but it’s not just that. Maybe too “sheet musicy” or “metronomey?” Too far uppy? I can hear lots of variances, but then there’s this other thing that just completely changes it and I can’t quite define it.
Cool share.
If North Korea ever sees this, they’ll want to reunite rather quickly, order in Guinness, and party like it’s 1948 all over again.
The Dubliner Pub in Osaka! Great pub and sound local owner.
There was a thread on one of the Irish subs the other week about Irish people visiting Irish pubs when on holidays, and the consensus was that it was the preserve of the uncultured.
I’ve visited many Irish pubs abroad specifically to seek out experiences like the one in the video. Witnessing Irish culture being practised and celebrated by native Irish and locals thousands of miles from home is a truly amazing thing, and brings me immense joy.
