It can't be authentic folk gravitas unless a Waterson or a Carthy has dubbed it so!


Indeed. And possibly an old pit worker's terrace in a rundown former mining village somewhere in Yorkshire might be allowed.

To be fair, to be ranked up in the top fifty with when the Clancy's mum sent them their jumpers is pretty blooody good.

When Shane MacGowan's rowdy London Irish punks shared the stage of the Brixton Academy with Paddy Moloney's old guard, it seemed to unite two very disparate notions of Irishness. The Chieftains guested on Streams of Whiskey, Drowsy Maggie and Waxie's Dargle, unwittingly acquiring a punk credibility, while the Pogues gained an authentic folk gravitas. It was a cross-generational celebration that transformed Irish identity politics – and helped to make St Patrick's Day the world's wildest party.
