Irish Swing
So I'm dj'ing tomorrow night - there is always a Wednesday dance at the Century even though we will be competing with St. Patrick's day.
I thought it would be fun to work in something Irish, but I'm struggling with exactly what. Perhaps a token U2 song?
Anyone have suggestions for swing songs that could be considered Irish?
How about Irish Jazz musicians? Eddie Condon perhaps?
Thanks in advance!

The only Irish Swing DJ on the board looks at interest and then realises he can't add much.
Sinéad O'Connor was a swing CD with a great Dublin Acent.
Am I Not Your Girl?

Do you own this? All music is not too keen on it.Bob the Builder wrote:The only Irish Swing DJ on the board looks at interest and then realises he can't add much.

I do have a version of Peg O'My Heart (Glenn Miller on Anthology of Big Band Swing) - that will make the playlist tomorrow; although since it's an instrumental it's highly unlikely anybody will get it.
And I might be reduced to working in the term "Lucky" (as a Leprauchaun) - "I'm Just a Lucky So and So", "Happy Go Lucky Local", perhaps a few tracks from Lucky Millinder....
I like the version of "Molly Malone" on The Complete Charlie Shavers with Maxine Sullivan

I have it and quite like a few songs on it. I play "Why Don't You Do Right?" fairly often.djstarr wrote:Do you own this? All music is not too keen on it.Bob the Builder wrote:The only Irish Swing DJ on the board looks at interest and then realises he can't add much.

While I am not from Ireland like you, I am of Irish descent, my name is Malone after all.Bob the Builder wrote:The only Irish Swing DJ on the board looks at interest and then realises he can't add much.

Actually, I am a mut, but Ireland is the only country that I can trace ancestors back to (County Cork).
That being said, my contribution to the thread
The Big Daddy version of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking for" Hard to find, they are an old local band that did covers popular songs in untraditional ways. I have never actually seen the CD that this came from, but MP3s of their music float around locally.
