Show Notes

Disgusted by the success of Ed Sheeran’s song ‘Galway Girl’, Shane decides to create his own St Patrick’s Day song; a song for the Irish, by the Irish. Unfortunately, his plans are derailed slightly by the cost-of-living crisis and he is forced to outsource the making of his song to more affordable, foreign workers.  

He overcomes all hurdles to create a rap-folk song to grace beer-sodden dancefloors on March 17th every year.
