With St Patrick's Day marking celebrating Ireland and celtic culture, I again though it worth marking the occasion on the blog.
The celtic culture of Brittany has much in common with Ireland, with many similarities, but is less well known internationally.
I think I decided to put this track on the blog for this occasion ages ago, featuring as it does one of Brittany's most famous voices with one of Ireland's best known figures. I know the Pogues weren't born in Ireland, but there are many of the Irish diaspora who would describe themselves as Irish despite not having been born there.
St Patrick's is a wonderfully inclusive celebration of nationality and culture, and the shared celtic culture between Ireland and Brittany is certainly worth celebrating
