Ideally, it would be live music, but I would like you to play on here, on this swell music from your country and say a few words about it. Because one of the things I love about Swell love is the fact that it's not from Ireland, not from America, that it's from India. And I'm one of these people who loves connecting with other countries

Paul, I'm one of those people who very much appreciate you sharing live music from your location. Could you tell us the name of those two songs? That would be lovely. I was going to post some live music from my country, but on your second post, in the background, the band in your pub was playing two American songs leaving on a jet plane and then take it Easy. So you've got my country covered very well, thank you

I mean, go back to the would have been Wonder War or something by Oasis if you're picking songs from your country. But I would have thought American songs are going to be probably the safest, the most popular all over the world

In fact, I've even looked it up to see when it first came, about 1949. But it became incredibly popular in Ireland in the 60s when a group called the Dubliners, which you may have heard of it doesn't really matter, you can look them up, had a massive hit with it

Now, the Luke Kelly version of the old triangle is a classic, a total classic, awesome song, in my opinion. So if you do want to listen to maybe the best version of it, I'd suggest try Luke Kelly first. How old? Uld is very much an Irish. I thought it's Hiberno English, but anyway, it comes from being, I think, originally not sure, but it means old triangle
