Best opener for Flogging Molly I've even had the pleasure of listening to! Great night in Philly 1/31/13. Being backstage was great and got the chance to see just how great these youngsters were!

[@PyrateCaptain]

I got a kiss from her at The Fillmore in Charlotte when they were opening for Flogging Molly. And a few drinks of rum from the jug.

Lorna kissed my cheek at Warped Tour last year, their music is perf

[@PRinear]

Only band I know of that played both Warped Tour and NPR Tiny Desk.

I remember when we were gonna die. My wife and I pulled into Paia Bay on Maui. There was a concrete bathroom there. Figured it was good enough to protect from the flash. I was telling others to keep calm as there was nothing to do but wait. Our last moments were to be spent holding each other and telling my wife that the best days of my life was with her. Didn't know you guys back then. Wish I did, with all your songs there isn't a single one that doesn't make you wanna sing it!

[@travislowrider6623]

Well, as I walked down the metal road With all but forty pounds Only the bells around my waist The cut-throats to confound No sharp-eyed rogue would rob me No vagabond likewise And I bet my hide I'll win my bride with the flashing bright-blue eyes Well, the first I met was a tinker With gold rings to sell Each one cost a tenner But some looked twice as well And I said, "That's lucky for me," And parted with some cash To take a golden wedding band To my deserving lass Well, as I walked down the metal road With all but thirty pounds Only the bells around my waist The cut-throats to confound No sharp-eyed rogue would rob me No vagabond likewise And I bet my hide I'll win my bride with the flashing bright-blue eyes Well, the next I met was a gypsy She had a yard of Honiton lace Eyes as brown as berries With an honest, open face And I said "That's lucky for me," And parted with some cash To take a beautiful wedding veil To my deserving lass Well, as I walked down the metal road With all but twenty pounds Only the bells around my waist The cut-throats to confound No sharp-eyed rogue would rob me No vagabond likewise And I bet my hide I'll win my bride with the flashing bright-blue eyes Well, the next I met was an urchin He had orchids by the score Blues and reds and yellows To make the sun feel sore And I said "That's lucky for me," And parted with some cash To take a rare wedding bouquet To my deserving lass Well, as I walked down the metal road With all but ten pounds Only the bells around my waist The cut-throats to confound No sharp-eyed rogue would rob me No vagabond likewise And I bet my hide I'll win my bride with the flashing bright-blue eyes Well, the last I met was a farmer He had a Magnum of champagne He wanted fifteen guineas But I clinched it just the same And I said, "That's lucky for me! Now we can raise a glass And drink a sparkling wedding toast To my deserving lass!" Well, as Father Reed's an ignorant man You can hear him loudly call "It's a curtain ring on her finger And her veil's a gypsy's shawl And what a fine bunch of wayside weeds Fresh-picked from down the lane And a wedding cup of cider sets us on the road again." Well, as I walked down the metal road With never a weary pound Only the bells around my waist The cut-throats to confound No sharp-eyed rogue would rob me No vagabond likewise And I kept my hide and I won my bride with the flashing bright-blue eyes

[@FoxfirePoet]

[@djhughes87]

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME MORE BANDS EXACTLY LIKE THIS!!!!!

[@landypaule]

Those guys really love their Landys :-)

[@BohemianConspiracy]

It's hard to believe that this band will seriously tour mainland Europe one day... They probably (will) sound too Britton & Exotic for most people here... Although they have a potential public in north west of France & even maybe north west of Spain... UK & Ireland is their main natural zone then North America of course + New Zealand and Australia ...

[@Mrludovicwan]

I saw them in Netherlands ! :)

[@steffenw99]

Starry&Bohemian saw them in Germany :)

[@luxford60]

They've done several tours in mainland Europe, even before you wrote your comment, and more so since.

[@br14n15]

can anyone figure out the chords?

[@ajayl.4688]

oh lona, you so gorgeous. :3

[@ianrose1945]

Wonder if anyone is gonna sue them for using the exact same melody as “7 drunken nights” by the Dubliners though 🤔

[@OfficialChrissums]

great song, great band. but for some reason they all look like angry football hooligans in the video. has the price of this wedding enraged the band? XD
