    I think people are a bit deluded thinking this is a show of nationalist pride - more like a lazy way of telling punters to GTFO tbh.

    They used to do it in Irish college at the end of a ceili, I always liked it, I actually knew my national anthem for a while, I don't think anything's wrong with that.

    Made me feel all piratey.

    I never heard it being played in a club. But I play in bands and there is some pubs around the South East and Dublin that we wouldnt get out of alive if we didnt play it. I think it should be played everywhere tho, show some national spirit, alot of people died so we could sing it. Much rather it than god save the queen

    Show some national pride? By playing our anthem in a club or pub for a load of people that are for the most part far too rubber to actually sing it or else just don't know the words?

    That's not national pride, it's complete disrespect for the national anthem.

    Sounds like a retarded idea to me. Much better to have a funny outro.

    Actually there's a well known niteclub in Dundalk that plays the Cheers themesong religiously as its final choon every night.

    'Sometimes you wanna go

    WHERE EVERY BODY KNOWS YOUR NAAAAAME...'

    Cheesy 80s pop FTW

    What say ye? Approve? Disapprove?

    From working a barman it was played at just about every wedding and function as the lights come on.
    Not a big nightclub goer, I haven't seen it in Galway or Dublin city but for sure it's the done thing in the rural midlands.

    I've no doubt this has been raised before in AH, but so has every topic!
    And the last thread I found was 2004 :)

    Does it happen in the places you go to?


    yes, about 15 years ago.

    Not anymore - perhaps in student zones, but not anywhere on town i know of

    Not bothered besides - given that some will vote for the Lisbon treaty, it will soon be replaced if possible within 5 to 10 years with the EU national anthem.


    I expect better from you than this sort of scaremongering, Biggins.

    Back in the glory days when a slew of us would regularly jump on the bus from Naaaaaavan and end up in Oasis in Carrickmacross, at the time Ireland's largest nightclub, there would be a couple of thousand of us standing for Amhrán na bhFiann at the end of the night. I've never heard it sung so loudly, especially when something happened up the road that day or week.

    Great days. Great craic. 14-hole Doc Martens. The Clash. SLF. The Sex Pistols. The Pogues. Passionate Fenian birds. Absolutely 'moon', as every great thing was called in Naaaaaavan in those days.

    Its AH, there always has to be a punchline of AH calibre!
    It wouldn't be AH otherwise. :D

    We have just under 4 weeks of info' stuff (for/against) all again so people should be WELL informed if they are really interested and willing to do the work.

    I once played in a Bar in Tipp where the manager told me to repeat Amhran Na Bfiann three times in a row because some idiot would not stand up and pay attention.
