Finnegan's Wake - The Irish Rovers

Finnegan's Wake - The Irish Rovers

Hardstuff, 1989

I've heard this great song from the usual Celtic folk groups, of course.  The Rovers (with George Millar still leading the group like he did in 1963!) give this an uptempo, singalong arrangement, with less of the dour faux-funereal stuff of the Dubliners.  With bazouki, flute, banjo, and a rattling percussion, and some subtle party sound effects in the back, the Rovers make it a fine ould Irish wake indeed.
