Great 2.5hrs long concert with all their iconic hymns (#GreenAndRedOfMayo, #N17, #ClareIsland, HayWrap etc) and a special tribute to #Kraftwerk.
🤩
Today they are playing #Berlin.
A great evening last night at The Halls Wolverhampton.
Th Irish group, The Saw Doctors in the middle of their first tour in years, absolutely fantastic nearly 2 1/2 hours of excellent non-stop music.
I'd really love the opportunity to photograph some gigs using some real cameras!

To 12 July, where Beer van Beers hosted, and Shampoo gave another spin of "Girl power".
Toni Braxton was in the studio for "You're making me high".

Underworld's video to "Born slippy" is not transmissible. This will thoroughly piss off producer Ric Blaxill, coz it's his favourite band next.
The Saw Doctors had a hit with "To win just once", the last record they performed on The Old Radio 5.
Bought tickets to a show next month but my plans changed and tickebastard won’t let me resell. Anybody want a ticket to see the #SawDoctors in #Boston? What ticket resale sites do people use now? I haven’t had to sell a ticket in a decade.
Photo: Leo & Davy at Jammin’ Java in VA in 2016. This is the last time I saw (some of) the lads live.
A great song is a great song, a timeless song works in any era. Especially when it's given a loving remake by people who completely understand it.
The Saw Doctors took "Downtown", persuaded Pet Clark to re-record her vocals, and took over the centre of Galway to make their video.
This one's full of joy and love.

Driving the N17 from Sligo to Westport.
And of course the soundtrack is from the #sawdoctors ....
Michael Daniel Higgins (Mícheál Dónal Ó hUigínn) was born on 18th April 1941 in Limerick. He is the ninth and current President of Ireland (Áras an Uachtaráin), having taken office on 11 November 2011.
A very good excuse to give the Saw Doctors 'Michael D rockin' in the Dáil' a spin.

This one has me bemused:
The Economist: "Irish folk music is enjoying a revival"
I hadn't been aware that Irish folk music had ever seen a particular period of decline. Maybe it depends on if you classify the likes of the Pogues, the Saw Doctors or the 2 Johnnies as 'folk'.

I saw that Ursula von der Leyen quoted the Saw Doctors in the Dáil this week, and had to take a listen - I found myself humming it to myself again this morning.
