>>It just so happens I heard, for the 1st time, the NF band "Great Big Sea" just on Saturday. Some very much like the Pogues, indeed, but most of their songs were VERY Irish. My friend who played the CD said that a NF girl had once passed the CD onto him, saying that they were the favourite band of all the young folk of NF. If that's true you've GOTTA like 'em, not listening to all that thrash rubbish and violent rap. :-) > >Marshal loves Great Big Sea and we've seen them live a couple of times. I like it, but find it a little repetitive. Also, their concerts are too loud. The best number in the last one we went to was the final encore, which they did a cappella and without mikes. What a great sound. > >Tamar
Never heard of Great Big Sea. Love The Pogues and The Dubliners. Will have to look them up.
