If you are gonna listen to Irish music, it has to be proper traditional music and not that Irish country rubbish.

ok sorry, didn't realise it had a diff connotation there. I thought it meant Traditionally Arranged
My university has a society dedicated to Irish traditional music called TradSoc and they play a lot of traditional Irish instruments. They played at a Christmas carol service in there a couple of years ago.

Not sure what to make of that
Yeah I saw the One Direction christmas card in easons last week but not the Daniel one (probably sold out)
)
I was unfortunate to stumble upon one of those dreadful Daniel O'Donnell cards. Noticed there was also a Cliff Richard one. It was in Clintons Cards or whatever it's called.

Did it play his version of Silent Night when you opened it?
The Cliff Richard one probably plays Congratulations or one of his awful Christmas songs

I didn't muster the courage to open the Cliff one!
The Daniel O'Donnell one was wishing a happy Christmas. As I promptly closed the card after that; I didn't get the chance to see if he actually sang.
Ever since I saw that card Daniel O'Donnell has been haunting me! He's been on TV here in Ireland (someone pass me the sick bucket) and mum got a DO'D CD for Christmas! I'm trapped in some sort of Daniel O'Donnell nightmare! I'm too young to be forced to listen to him. I like stuff like Britney Spears and The Saturdays Help!
Help!

TG4 I think. It was a show from some Cathedral in Dublin. The songs were good, I just wasn't keen on him singing them.
