Song of the Day (41): Funky Ceili (Bridie’s Song) – Black 47

Song of the Day (41) - Funky Ceili (Bridie's Song) by Black 47

First heard Black 47 on sweaty nights at Paddy Reilly’s in Manhattan raising pints of Guinness as they ripped through sounds that sounded familiar yet brand new. Ands who could resist their energy?  

Lead singer and songwriter Larry Kirwan captures the contemporary Irish immigrant experience railing against stereotypes and pigeonholes. They defy classification with their mix of hip hop, garage band and Irish sounds.  This song captures the bands combination of fun, brilliance and wit. Kirwan can spin an infectious tale.
