                                                      This episode has three chapters:

                                                      1) A segment recapping our gig at Sherwood Celtic Yuletide Festival a couple weeks ago.

                                                      2) A VERY SPECIAL segment featuring a GREAT conversation about music between Patrick and his daughter TARA DEVLIN, recorded on the road to Sherwood. Tara, as the daughter of a Blaggard, grew up with rock as her soundtrack. She and her dad talk about how those CD collections shaped everything.

                                                      3) Blaggards performing "Fisherman's Blues" at Sherwood Celtic Yuletide Festival for Paddy's mom Ann Devlin.

                                                      MASSIVE thanks to Tara Devlin, Greg Fugate, and Shawn McHorse for providing video footage.

Chad is home sick with the flu, and Paddy's internet isn't working so well. So Paddy filmed a few segments on his own, and Turbo pitched in a short one as well.

                                                                                                  Chad then fleshed out the rest of the episode with some footage that our friend Mike Gavis provided of us setting up and soundchecking from our final gig on the Ireland tour.

                                                                                                  We also included the (nearly) full performance of RING OF FIRE from that night's show, including the moment where Seamus Geraghty, the bar manager, surprised us by opening the red loft door above the stage and filmed us from his perspective. MASSIVE thanks to Laurie Valenzi, Sharie Sartain, Mike and Seamus for providing the video footage.

                                                                                                  Not exactly your usual Slapperness, but we hope y'all dig it.
