A similar thing happen to me me back in the early 1980's. I was on a 747 Pan Am flight from JFK to Heathrow when we got diverted to Shannon in Ireland because Heathrow had 2" of snow while we were en-route. What a joke 2" of snow is nothing but UK airports just can't handle snow like North America / Canada can. I've taken off from Buffalo NY in a snow storm when the plane followed 4 snow ploughs down the runway, no problem. Anyhow I digress. We landed in Shannon & got bussed off to a local hotel where we were all given rooms but we had no luggage which was still on the plane. There was nothing to do but head for the bar (surprise surprise) where a group who were travelling on the plane pulled out the hotel piano & found a few other instruments & struck up some tunes. They played non-stop for 4-5hrs by which time we were all plastered on free booze & fell back onto the plane for the short flight over to Heathrow after an 18hr delay. Different times.
This is not an entirely unusual situation. I've been in airports and on planes home to Ireland on countless occasions when an impromptu session has started up. And even if there's no music, there's still a party atmosphere. Flying from California to New York, then onward to Ireland, it always felt that I was home once I reached the gate for the Irish flight at Newark airport. Strangers talking to strangers as if they were life-long friends. But then, we do have a saying in Ireland, 'A stranger is just a friend you have never met.' (W.B. Yeats) How true that is!
Ahhh MUSIC…..played by someone with joy in their heart….magic ✨ Thank goodness for musicians….and musicians and audiences who discard shyness for love and enjoyment of sharing happiness 👍 And thank You for sharing 🤗
Hey Guys, I like yous reactions to all kind of clips, I'm like you a big Billy Connolly fan, please look up a clip when he arrives to a pub in Ireland on hes trike and sit in whith his banjo and sings a song whith his one of kind voice, a singing voice he self describe: ''it sounds like a goose farting in e fog'' Cheers.
Steve Earle wrote it and played it with Sharon Shannon originally but...yeah...I think Mundy did the better version. Maybe Steve in his hey day would have been better!
Although I’m British so can’t be completely sure, I just get the vibe that if this happened in the US, someone would complain and the cops would get involved. And if it didn’t, it would end up on Inside Edition or some shit!
Please please please react to When it’s 5 am at an Irish Wedding - Ho Ro the rattlin’ Bog. It’s a genuinely amazing 5 minutes. Your channel is great btw!
Just saw someone recommend the comedian Greg Davies in the comments of one of your Bob Mortimer reactions, PLEASE REACT TO GREG DAVIES! You’ll love him! Big love from the north west of England✌️
@@neilgayleard3842, it's just an excuse for people to drink excessively. And I can't stand this 'I'm 💯 Irish' crap, when the vast majority have never been, probably never will go, but like to burnish their 'Irish' credentials by virtue of the fact they once stroked a wolfhound. Absurd!
@@andyblogger1 it's worse when you're from a Northern Irish town where the powers that be think a 2 hour celebration in the local park is a festival. Jaysus wept.
If your fliight was delayed, and you needed a bit of a sleep, that would be so annoying. Just sayin'. But the Irish always assume they're so much fun that nobody could possibly get a little bit irritated with their "cosy" schtick.
It’s definitely an Irish thing, the ability to make the best of a bad situation, using that age old Irish saying ‘feck it, it’ll be grand’👍🏻
Feck it sure grand

There's an old Irish saying - "It's better to sing grief than cry it".
Cork airport has a piano on the concourse that anyone can just play at will. it get's played and a lot of dancing happens.
Now we know to book our flight to land there!

The guy on the right is exactly how Irish music is supposed to make you feel. Joyful and happy and smile and have a grand ol time

Re-quote 😂 „This pub looks suspiciously like an airport!“
Daoiri is pronounced as Derry. All these guys play with many bands and have their own solo stuff going on as well. Anything they do is amazing.
Watch Irish fans singing Fields of Athenry in a French train station
Robbie the bodhrán player was all Ireland champion previously.
You really need to check out Mr brightside, sung at an Irish funeral. Its unreal
IRISH FLIGHT DELAYED, they all knew the song......try misery with an Irish crowd......................there in none!

I know the bodhran player, that's mad. hi from Ireland
Lee Mack Irish names is genius if you get the chance guys!

The pinching for not wearing green thing is not something done in Ireland only US...
A Steve Earle song. Big hit by him in Ireland.
A good one to do for Paddy's Day would be --
The Dubliners ft. The Pogues - The Irish Rover (Live, TOTP 1987)
.

Yeah but to be fair, if it was Heathrow the Health and Safety rules would declare it could hurt people's ears.
Newcastle Airport, sat in that room many times, never been entertained like that.
I was just thinking it was gate 2 at Newcastle. I go through that gate to Belfast most Monday mornings

You might be able to hear where Hillbilly music originated from.
No offense but the southern accents when you think about it especially Texan accents tends to be a mix of Scottish, Irish and southern accents
Do you have "public pianos" or "street pianos" etc where you two live? They can be great!
Guys Scottish elevator in Burniston you will love love it.
As a tight ass grumpy Dane, I need the Irish mentality.
Please do a reaction to Snow Patrol at Oxegen 2008 (not a typo)
Intro is a bit... quiet? lol
Editing shift?
I loved the Irish vid when I saw it a while back.
It's just great to see most of the crowd enjoyed it. There are only a few grumpy bastards there. lol
What is going on with the videos this week :/
We always sing.
🇮🇪💚
Are you related to James Joyce🤪🇮🇪👏👏
You're not really British if you don't take a photo of your pint in the airport
Everytime is beer o'clock at the airport.
Same with train beer (although not at 7am in the way to work 🤣)
Or Irish
Yes it is an Irish trait, the welsh are similar (and they sing it in welsh)
