INTERMISSION: Féile Pádraig Phuncach!
To mark the day of our national saint (and tide you over during the reading weeks), DJ MAL put together a playlist of Irish punk tunes from across 5 decades and a dizzying multitude of genres. Maybe you love St Patrick's Day, maybe you despise it, maybe you're indifferent. However you feel about St. Patrick's Day, this country or the legacy we are creating for ourselves, you will be able to find plenty to enjoy in this playlist of Irish punk bangers, bops and ballads! A tracklist will not be provided as there are at least 70 songs on the playlist. If you refuse to use Spotify and thus cannot see the tracklist, e-mail me.
