But that's just one song innit? And I'd say it was more riotous folk than irish punk. Come on, 9 people on stage, and at least 3 of them playing their instruments in a fuckin brilliant way and not just bashing the shite out of them? Is that punk? Spider was the punkest pogueIam said:
But... it is "Irish Punk", for want of any better description.
If a British guitarist plays the blues in a delta style, is it delta blues, or just blues?
But then, I've always hated genre limitations
As for delta blues, well, call me a purist, but I've heard no british musician play it with 'feeling'Iam said:

If you have any recommendations feel free, but i feel it's of it's time and place and can't be replicated with any sense of genuineness (is that a word? it is now!)sojourner said:But that's just one song innit?

Yeah, all true enough, too. And I'm also not a massive fan of genre-binding, either.

No recommendations, I'm afraid it's not a style I'm particularly well versed in, just thinking out loud really... But I was thinking about it in terms of that being a quite specific style of playing, which is (maybe?) what you'd usually associate with that particular genre... I suppose I'm saying there are stylistic similarities between different types of music that make them mean different things to different people. Or some such tosh.
Well, I think with stuff like delta blues, there is a definite sound/geography to it...the tone of the voice, the tuning of the guitar strings, the starkness of the tune and song, the lack of any whimsicality. The basic sound quality of the recordings, although obv limited by the resources available, is a huge part of the experience for me as well. People seem unable to produce music these days without having a bajillion twiddly knobs doing different things, and I think this is what is one of the things that makes me love Jack White so much, is his refusal to adopt the accepted methods of recording music. Well, until the Raconteurs of courseIam said:But I was thinking about it in terms of that being a quite specific style of playing, which is (maybe?) what you'd usually associate with that particular genre...

As an aside, have you ever heard the Nipple Erectors/Nips? There's a distinct lack of Irish twang in his singing on that stuff
Although I'd have to say it was a damn sight more punk than the Pogues ever werefishfingerer

He has said many times that he's Irish. The Pogues used to get a lot of abuse and snobbery from trad music purists, they're not Irish, it's not proper Irish music, blah blah blah.sojourner said:

Have you a dutch passport? Dutch family?sojourner said:
I could be wrong here, but in Victoria Clarke's book 'A drink with Shane McGowan' doesn't he talk about how he spent the first six years of his life growing up on his uncles farm in Tipperary, and he says one of the reasons The Pogues broke up was that the band were moving away from Irish music towards a more contemporary sound. Surely growing up on a farm in Tipp with an Irish family makes you irish.
I know McGowans quite liberal with the truth, so I'm not going to state the above as fact, though he does live in north Tipperary now.

if you were born in london to dutch parents, brough back to holland as a child, hoiday'd regularly in holland, now lived in holland, sang dutch songs in a band with a dutch name and the dutch people considered you to be a dutchman, you might have a fair shout
Sorry but I couldn't take anything written in that book seriously. It actually belongs in the 'Music Books you think are Shite' thread. It's a vomit-fest of the ickle wickle victorwia oh so in wuv with my Shaney (spew). The band broke up because Shane was a fucking car crash of a drunk, and the Pogues without him were lost.Daibhí said:
