Nice, I will have to find some of there music.

Yes your right lead singer is a native born Irishman but because the others weren't they dont count? Its good music.

Nah. It's just a pet peeve of my husband's when people refer to themselves as "irish" when it was really their granny from Cork who came over on the boat in 1890 that was irish................

We both have that pet peeve. We live in a heavily Irish-decent city and a lot of people notice my hubby's accent and say oh yeah, I'm Irish too, my granny came over, blah blah. We just not and smile and smirk when we walk away. Most people have no clue about Ireland, never even set foot in Eire.

I was doing my homework on the band and came coming across this video here of Dave King(lead singer Flogging Molly) and I am beginning to wonder if he really is Irish, no Irish man would be caught in those spandex. This was Daves band in the early 80's.

Oh, I hear ya.

Wait till you've had a few more years of it, though. I've stopped telling people my husband is "irish". I now say he was "born and raised in Northern Ireland". Sort of stops them before it starts......... :P

Reminds me of when Wes first came to visit me. He wanted to look 'nice' so he had on a pair of black trousers and a really pale off-white dress shirt. Just very conservative and kind of like for going to church.......

But he'd come the whole way over with a beanie hat mashed over his head............

Hey now, my granny came over on a boat from Ireland... try to understand that for most of us Americans, our heritage give us some kind of identity, especially for those of us who are a blend of many nationalities....the big melting pot. I think of my little son, who is half Filipino....he can and should feel some sense of pride with his heritage when he gets older. If he runs into Filipinos in his adult life and is able to speak to them in their native tongue, I hope they will not regard him reaching out to them as annoying. We all are looking for ways to connect with one another...at least that's where my ancestral pride comes from. :)

Aw #######, now I feel bad. Well, I think if any of the people I was referring to ever bothered to actually have an interest in their heritage at any other point than when it's convenient to them maybe we'd feel differently. If anyone walked up to my husband and started speaking Irish I'm sure he'd feel differently! Having Irish "heritage" is a common claim from a lot of people here that don't actually have a clue. Of course this doesn't include ALL people who claim Irish heritage, but we have found few people that have actually visited, or really know anything about the country at all. And when we do find someone that's been there they ask him if he knows Seamus from Donegal, or some other non-specific person.

I also suspect that, generally speaking, claiming to have Filipino heritage has a little more substance to it and happens less frequently. Maybe I'm off the mark there...
