Podcast#42 features the brand spanking new release from Flogging Molly - Speed Of Darkness. We also have music from Dropkick Murphys (just for comparison purposes), Shane MacGowan doing Yeats, a couple of tracks from fellow Pogue Terry Murray - Sweeneys Men (from 1968) and The Woods Band (from 2001). Chicago's The Tossers sing about, well, Chicago and we round things out with Brendan Behan the original Irish-punk.

Brendan Behan, 1923- 1934. Playwright, Gunman, Convict, drinker and all round hell raiser. Wrote the Auld Triangle and beacame the model and inspiration for The Pogues, The Tossers and Flogging Molly
