    Howdy

    The Saw Doctors are coming into Boards.ie tomorrow to play a couple of tunes, to answer a few questions and generally have the craic.

    I've already posted details - and a competition - in the music forum but I'd love to get the After Hours take on the Saw Doctors - great musicians or not?

    What's your favourite song of theirs? I'll ask them to record it especially for After Hours and stick it up on YouTube tomorrow...

    Answers below please and thanks!

    I saw the thread title and I thought 'This is defo gonna get deleted'
    Then I saw that Darragh had written it!

    Saw Doctors aren't that bad, they did start out as a kind of parody band but in later years they wrote some pretty nice songs

    Of course I'm gonna pic 'The Green and Red of Mayo'!
    Great song :D

    I once heard "Too win just once" cut to a montage of Norn Ireland 1-1 Rep Ireland 1993 and I've liked that particular song ever since.

    "I used to love her" is just too much of a bogger anthem for me to get on board with it.

    True story - my knowledge of the lyrics to N17 impressed a girl so much that it earned me the dirtiest, messiest and one of the best one night stands I'd ever had. She was a farmer's daughter from Galway, we were in Hersonissos in Greece and I still have a slight limp after that night.

    She can't have been much good.

    Just reminds me of going on holidays.

    I used to love Joyce Country Ceili Band so much, bt heard so damn much of it after a year of college in Galway and G.A.A discos last summer that I now have to be seriously drunk before I can resit the urge to change the song.

    Tommy K's a decent song, as is Green and Red of Mayo :D

    I accidentally stumbled into a Saw Doctors gig a few years back and got poked in the eye by a man brandishing his thumbs like a crab with mad cow disease. I think he had an "I shot J.R." T-shirt on!

    Saw Doctors....pfft! More like Witch Doctors if they can provoke a man to dance in such an irregular fashion!

    N17 ...but the opening line of I Useta Love Her is the greatest line ever written.

    I have fallen for another, she can make her own way home ....

    Its comparable with dylan type lyrics if you're from mayo.

    Brilliant song (The definitive county song)

    Would bring a tear to a mayo stone!

    I am definitely a Tommy K fan, watching a girl stand on boyfriends shoulders and then do T K to the tune, and a girl beside me hold up a shirt that said I Love NY with NY crossed out and Saw Doctors written in was one of the best memories of Oxegen.
