    Class ad, gets me in the mood for "mistletoe and wine" - and stout.

    I'll get you the name of the song if you need it, the girlfriend plays it on piana.

    You could get the pub at the hill of Skryne, Co. Meath.

    Excellent ad. Especially when you see it late on xmas eve night.

    YouTube FTW.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,031 ✭✭✭Slippin Jimmy


    I had a quick look on youtube for the add, didn't come up with the one we are looking for. Maybe it was there and I just missed it.

    Its a bit strange, youtube usually have all of the telly adds.

    I spent ages looking for it last night. It's not on the Guinness site, even though it has loads of adverts on it. The only possibility I found was on a site called absolutelyandy.com . He's some weird guy in Derby, who's collated loads of his favourite ads on his site. When I Googled it, it came up under his site, but I've searched the page and can't find it anywhere.
    I did find out though, that the music is from an album called "A Christmas Proclamation" by composer John Tavener.

    Guinness.com have all the ads on it so I'd say theres a good chance that ones there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,021 ✭✭✭il gatto


    I tried that. They have loads of ads, but not the Christmas one:confused: Tis the season? Not on Guinness.com it isn't.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,031 ✭✭✭Slippin Jimmy


    It has to be out there somewhere.......................:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭Random


    Bah.. where is it? I'll pay ONE MILLION to the person who can find it :)

    I found the track listing on Amazon.co.uk and they have samples for all the tracks and none of them sound like the Guinness ad

    Like all ads it's proberly only a short sample of the song, with the rest being nothing like it... always makes it harder to find :(

    You sure it's not there though ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭nobodythere


    Ah yes laddy, I remember the days when snow looked that magical and Guinness were actually brewed in Ireland and us superbly brave Irish fellows would come home through 5 miles in snow with no shoes every day to beat our wives and marry off our children.

    Good times.

    If you have nothing better to do go down on New Year's Eve and watch the date on the wall change.
    It's amazing the way they do it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭Random


    Do explain...


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Keep an eye out on the Guinness site.. not there now but most others are.
