You all know that the best rugby, the best lovers, the best beer and the best music comes from Ireland so how about a Irish music thread for celebrate the day!!
Firstly, should be a Town anthem
and dont forget there is one thing worse than being Irish
There is some good music from Ireland, lets not forget all those eurovision wins. The Irish are welcome to egg chasing, I dispute the beer, they even nicked good old english stout, and I will need to confirm my ancestory before commenting on the remaining point.

Feckin hell the parade In the village as been cancelled 'due to a bereavement'. Unless it's Patrick himself who's died seems a tad harsh. Not sure if all day binge drinking as been cancelled as well or if that's just gonna go ahead without the excuse of a Convoy of restored tractors

I was a counsellor at an American summer camp in 1979 when the first album came out, and an English colleague had a tape of the album with him. The Americans counsellors were totally shocked by it, knowing nothing about punk despite it originating in New York.

Seeing as St Patrick was born in England.
Prety sure he was actually Romano-British, probably born in what is now Wales before the concept of English existed. Tom Jones might be more appropriate..

His birthplace is not known with certainty, and claims have been put forward for modern day Cumbria, south west Scotland and Wales.
Each of these areas would have been Welsh speaking, and his birth was at a time when Anglo-Saxon incursions in the south east of Britain were only beginning, and long before the creation of England, so it is a bit of a stretch to regard him as English.
Interestingly, Palladius was the first Bishop of Ireland, preceding Patrick. He came from Gaul and was sent by the Pope. But it seems he was subsequently banished from Ireland which may explain why he never became the patroon saint
