RE: RIP Shane McGowan a genius lyricist

in Musiclast year

Ok, fair enough, I reckon I must go to at least ten funerals a year. Sad and sombre occasions, though I must say I like to say goodbye to them in my own little way and do like to hear the eulogies.

Sort:  

Irish funerals are famous for their wakes apparently and is more of a celebration. Is that about right or am I wrong?

 last year  

Ya pretty much, especially in rural locations where the wake is at the family home. It's still terribly sad of course, but food is put on and a drink for anyone who wants one and stories are exchanged about the person who passed away.
