Thanx Jon you nailed it.
Of course it's "The Boss" and I have the album :oops:
I was so frustrated when I heard the song in Dublin, the singer sounded so familiar :)

Brooce certainly does a fair amount of "toora-loora-liddle-aye-ay"ing in Mrs McGrath. You wouldn't believe it could work, but it really does.

Yes it does and they also play Geno with Dexys and Tears of a Clown with The Beat and also som Balkan music.
What I'm looking for is a "Folkpop-song" and the refrain goes like "Tullarula Tullarula Lai"

I thought that I could nail who's the singer was but I couldn't.
If someone have a clue who the hell this song is I would be grateful
Kind Regards

Music In The Pause

Post by celticjunk Sat Dec 12, 2009 2:52 pm

Does anyone have any information about the music you can hear after the supportact has left the stage.
In Dublin they played 30-45 minutes of music before The Pogues took the stage.
It's one song I'm looking for
Kind Regards

I think we've been using it since 2004. It was Shane's idea. Periodically, we try to change it, but we've never found anything we like better.

Back in the day, we had a succession of intro tapes, ranging from "A Pistol For Paddy Garcia" to "Battle March" and god knows what else. We used the Alfred Hitchcock Theme for a while too.



I think STH sets the tone.. Hopefully the band chooses to keep it..(Also dig the Call Up by the Clash too)

Hmm, good question, Chris.

I don't think it has always been used, I think Battle March Medley was probably used at one time (or am I dreaming again)?


I got a recording of a show from '88 today where the intro is BMM indeed!

Last show I saw- Manchester 2007- it was the song played after the band finished- it was my first exposure to MIAs paper planes. Stayed in my head for days & took a few days to work out the artist- finally heard it introduced on the radio.

If you're going to change it, how about a nice little something from Noel Hill? :wink:
