  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

In a world where music has become increasingly sanitized and unable to venture beneath the surface clichés of human emotion, Shane’s songs stand out in ever greater relief. None has bared their soul like Shane McGowan. His unique ability to plumb the dark recesses of the human soul, while in the very same breath celebrating its capacity to find healing transcendence, in both love and the sublime mysteries of existence, goes a long way to making sense of who we actually are.

  • THE POGUES: 30 Years Sämtliche Studioalben Plus Unveröffentlichte Live-Aufnahmen Mit Joe Strummer in Einer 8-CD-Box!
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] THE POGUES: 30 Years Sämtliche Studioalben plus unveröffentlichte Live-Aufnahmen mit Joe Strummer in einer 8-CD-Box! Mit ihrer Melange aus Irish Folk und dem Geiste des Punkrock waren THE POGUES die definitiv radikalste Band Irlands in den achtziger und neunziger Jahren. Stets mit einer klar erkennbaren politischen Haltung verbunden, brachten sie modernes Rock-Arrangement zusammen mit typisch irischen Instrumenten wie Tin Whistle, Banjo, Bodhran, Mandoline und Drehleier zusammen und schufen eine volksnahe Version des aufmüpfigen Punks, die weltweit Fans fand. Zwischen 1985 und 2001 platzierten THE POGUES satte 5 Alben in Folge in den UK-Top-20! Ihre Hit-Single Fairytale of New York gilt als eines der besten Weihnachtslieder aller Zeiten, ihr bekanntester Hit war der legendäre Irish Rover. Anlässlich des 30. Jubiläums der Band erscheint das Album-Gesamtwerk von THE POGUES nun in einer 8-CD- Box, die alle sieben Studioalben und einen bisher unveröffentlichten Live-Gig aus dem Jahr 1991 enthält, auf dem Ex-Clash-Frontmann Joe Strummer für den damals erkrankten Shane McGowan eingesprungen war. Das Debüt-Album Red Roses For Me und das 1989 aufgenommene Album Peace And Love wurden in diesem Jahr extra für die Box auf Grundlage der Multitrack-Masterbänder neu gemixt, alle anderen Studio-Alben sind in der Remix-Version von 2004 (ohne die damaligen Bonus-Tracks) enthalten. Sämtliche Alben sind mit der Optik der Originalcover ausgerüstet. History: Schon 1981 gründeten Shane McGowan, Jem Finer und Peter „Spider“ Stacy in London als The New Republicans im Geiste von Folk und Whisky.

These guys have been with us in Minogues the last two years at Christmas time and have delivered marvellous performances that reside in the musical memories of our patrons. A night with Frankie Lane & Paul Kelly is a night of fun and wild entertainment. They are one of the best-known duos touring in Ireland at the moment. What sets Frankie and Paul apart from other duos is the sheer scope of their material. You'll hear Irish Traditional tunes and songs, American Folk, Western Swing, Jazz, Classical, Bluegrass, and even a Gypsy number or two! As one of Ireland’s best-known performers and traditional musicians of international renown, Frankie Lane is the original front man of the legendary Fleadh Cowboys. During their sparkling career in the 1980s, Frankie’s live performances were famed for being fun-filled as well as tremendous - he regularly scaled high balconies in his quest to drive the audience wild, and usually managed! In fact, the “Fleadhs” gathered a huge fan base at the Olympia Theatre and went on to support legendary performers such as Bob Dylan, U2, The Pogues, Emmylou Harris and B.B.King. Paul Kelly has been at the heart of the music scene in Ireland since the early eighties.
