[quote name='chris_b' post='122720' date='Jan 18 2008, 10:54 AM']A long, long time ago (in the middle of the "Troubles") I was playing in a Working Man's Club band. We did a gig in an Irish club in Neasden and at the end we said good night. The manager rushed up hissing... "Play the Anthem"... so we duly started... he came running back shouting this time, "Stop! Not that one you eejits!!" Not thinking, we had started "God Save The Queen"!!
To a man the audience stood and, unaccompanied, sang the Irish National Anthem. I packed up nervously looking over my shoulder that night.[/quote]
Now that is a good tale!
