This weekend another American student, Marissa, brought us to a pub just around the corner from our apartment called An Spailpin Fanac. This means the migrant worker in Irish. It is the most authentic looking pub that I've been into here. It's dark, has low ceilings, brick walls, old men sitting at the bar, and open fireplaces. I loved the atmosphere!
The Spailpin has live music every night starting at 9:30. The music on Friday night wasn't the old traditional Irish music but we were told that students play traditional Irish music on Monday nights! We will be making our way back there tomorrow night to hear it. I tried to get a video of the music on Friday night but it was too loud and we were too far away. I'll try again tomorrow!
One song that the singer sang on Friday was an Irish version of "This Land is Your Land". Everyone in the pub knew the song. If it wasn't so loud in there the video would have sounded a lot like this...click here to listen.
