Happy st Patrick’s day ☘️ everyone. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of Irish bars celebrating this holiday and having great Irish pub songs playing like the one I’m highlighting called “whiskey in the jar “

Whiskey in the Jar" (Roud 533) is an Irish traditional song set in the southern mountains of Ireland, often with specific mention of counties Cork and Kerry. The song, about a rapparee(highwayman) who is betrayed by his wife or lover, is one of the most widely performed traditional Irish songs and has been recorded by numerous artists since the 1950s.

The song first gained wide exposure when Irish folk band the Dubliners performed it internationally as a signature song, and recorded it on three albums in the 1960s. In the U.S., the song was popularised by the Highwaymen, who recorded it on their 1962 album Encore. Irish rock band Thin Lizzy hit the Irish and British pop charts with the song in 1973. In 1990, the Dubliners re-recorded the song with the Pogueswith a faster rocky version charting at No. 63 in the UK. American metal band Metallica in 1998 played a version very similar to that of Thin Lizzy's, though with a heavier sound, winning a Grammy for the song in 2000 for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Which one is your favorite version of the traditional Irish song

New to Tumblr, going to start dumping some of the stone carving that I've done here.

This big slate carving is based on a design from the Book of Kells, all hand carved with hammer and chisels.

what are your thoughts on your religion stealing every single one of its holidays from pagans? xo

That in order to relieve themselves of guilt and discomfort, white people create and believe narratives that deprive their European ancestors of any autonomy whatsoever. Casting their ancestors as victims of the church rather than active participants.

Irish Miku! ☘️

Hope I'm not too late to the trend! But I just couldn't resist. I see a lot of Italian Mike's around, but not nearly as many Irish ones! so I decided to try and fix that. She's wearing traditional Irish West Coast clothing.

Céad Míle Fáilte means A hundred thousand welcomes.

Refs, a version without the banner, and OG tweet under the cut

And the tweet that started it all

Irish Dancer Miku 🇨🇮🩵✨

I usually don’t post my drawings on here but the “Miku in your own culture” trend is too cute not to participate in. So here’s Irish dancer Miku!

I only Irish danced for a year or so (soft-shoe) in elementary school but Irish dance was still a decent part of my life before high school. I did it, my sister did it, and lots of girls at my school did it too. Can you tell I come from a bit of an Irish-Catholic background lol? Anyway, I kinda miss seeing it so often 🥹. It’s a very gorgeous and impressive art.

Miku here is dressed as a soloist in hard-shoe shoes. I’d imagine she is about to preform a jig.

(P.S I got rid of her iconic twin tails to make the look more accurate. A majority of the time competitive or intermediate Irish dancers wear curly and bouncy hair extensions attached to a bun. I am noticing now that she looks a bit off without them but what’s done is done ig 🫠.)

Visiting a country from your ancestral history is life changing… couple more to check off that list after this😉
