Do Kilts Make the Music?
Walking down St. George Street the volume of Celtic music slowly got louder and the sounds of stomping feet were sneaking into my ear drums, each louder than before. As we rounded the corner onto Hypolita it was if a wave of joy came over me when I heard what could have been Flogging Molly Playing.
It's St. Patricks day and Black 47 is playing at Meehan's Irish Pub. This is a group of guys who look as if they saw each other walking down the street and decided- "Hey... let's make some music." And so they did.
Kilts and all Black 47 stomps to the beat and rocks the bag pipes. With each song everyone is clapping their hands and stomping so hard I think we are all about to end up on the first floor. The energy is flowing and everyone is enjoying their time.
That's what this music is all about; Ireland and its history, drinking, politics, love, friends and Family. If you like The Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly or even the Young Dubliners then I would recommend this band.
