Saw this lot years ago: highly original and very entertaining show! More clips on YT!

PS... That's my favourite track by Kirsty McColl (may she be at peace). Beautifully designed shoes - preferably with stiletto heels - are one of my major predilections. For me, the real stars of Sex and the City were Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik!)

Sweet, Brian, especially the George Harrison number.
Only two from me tonight. Both Dire Straits tracks, and very firm favourites:
The first, from Love Over Gold (my favourite DS album), is especially dedicated to all who know what cube farms are about, and one in the eye for the doom & gloom merchants. (If you're not familiar with this, the lyric is very clever, and well worth a listen!)
Note: Forum members wishing to give the Mogster a slap after that last entry must first obtain the relevant written permissions - in triplicate - from the noble Togmeister! Then, and only then, can they join their place in the orderly queue...

Plaintive sean nós air for Eastertide, sung as Gaeilge by the gifted singer and musician, Iarla Ó Lionáird. (A couple of years ago, I used to sing occasionally at a seisiún with a lad who went to school with him: imagine having someone with such a heavenly voice in your school choir! I'd have been queuing up to go to Mass...)
Iarla is also a member of the Afro Celt Sound System (one of my top 20 recording artists of all time). Snippets of their music are used regularly on telly, but here's a full track, again as Gaeilge (mostly!), and as contemporary as it gets!
Perhaps now members may get a better idea of the grá I have for the Celtic tongues: they are so incredibly musical and poetic!
If you'd like to hear more of Iarla's solo work, I can heartily recommend The Seven Steps to Mercy (Seacht gCoiscéim na Trócaire) on the RealWorld label.
The hit we bought him for his fiftieth.... (got to Number 9 despite the best efforts of the record companies. If not for their skullduggery, it would have been Number 1 ... )
Happy days in the Cornie Bin! John is an absolute honey, and a great night's entertainment!

Now my favourites go back to when hair was big and harmony & musical excellence was in vogue......
More than a feeling I like this one for the line 'I see my Marianne walking the world'...... my same name grandaughter is just in her teens and look out world! She's taking over!
Man I'll never be This combines a slideshow of one of my favourite artists with my top Boston tracks. Incredible guitar harmonics.
Gates of Babylon One of the most unsung songs in the universe - incredibly stirring & theatrical heavy metal, I'm surprised this wasn't more popular.

Another one with good guitar harmonics, but the main attraction is the incredible drumming - you don't get it like that nowadays! A bit of an Irish theme to catch the moggies eye too! Bad reputation
Same group, same incredible guitars, bigger Irish theme, Emerald

We have been neglecting Eric. 
It's more Wagner for you my girl!
