“Seo libh canaidh Amhrán… NAAAAAAA-AAA-AAA-AAA-AAAA-AAAAAAAAAA bhFiannnnnnnnnnn.”
Americans still don’t know the first rule of being Irish: nobody likes a show-off.
But our trans-Atlantic cousins don’t hold back and they like to put on a show, no matter what their mates at the bar think.
And they certainly gave it their all for the national anthem that was performed in Boston Red Sox’s Fenway Park for the Galway and Dublin game on Sunday.
It was definitely… different anyway. If almost unrecognizable towards the end.
Belt it out all you want but please don’t change the melody.
Derry man George Hutton has it nailed.
