Inspired by Immers two mixtapes featuring Scottish artists, I thought I would come up with one featuring Irish performers. I come from England, but have a mixed Irish and Scottish ancestry. Anyway, even if I didn't, this would be fun. A word of warning: If you are looking for a mixtape of traditional Irish tunes, this isn't it! Just a bunch of people I mostly like who come from Ireland. (North or South!)

The Yay! Badge VII
This baffling badge is bestowed to those who can truly grasp the striking permanence and ungodly continuance of the of the elusive 'YAY!'.

This is fantastic. A truly exceptional mix.
Hothouse Flowers opened for Midnight Oil when I saw them in in 1993, then I only saw them in $0.99 bins at used record shops. I need to listen to The Undertones. Inspiration, you is.

TEAM 97 -- Third Place
Long before being knocked up with Eddie Murphy's illegitimate child, Scary Spice was on top of the world. Now, she's nothing but washed up. It's kind of sad, really. Just by scoring third place in this contest, you've got infinitely more street cred than Scary. Congrats!
