I also love Karan Casey and Deirdre Scanlan's vocals (Solas is a favorite band)
Big thumbs up.  Saw them in concert in Milwaukee, once, great show.  They're also a favourite band of mine.

Birch Boy, I'm going to murder you in your sleep.  Or when you're awake.  Same results either way.

Yeah, that's a good video to post.  But even though Claudio is awesome, I raise you "Learning to Live," "Heartattack in a Layby," "Deadhead," "Hallowed Be Thy Name," "Thunder Road," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "San Jacinto," "And You And I," and "Bohemian Rhapsody."  Plus, there are much better Claudio videos to post.
