The Fleadh Cowgirls get their man!
A handsome young Fiddler, from foreign shores, finds himself surrounded by young female admirers at the Fleadh Cheoil 2011 in Cavan Town.
[Johnny Moynihan wrote a parody on the Fleadh Cheoil goers who were more interested in the booze than the music. Here are a few lines...
Mamas, don't let your babies turn into fleadh cowboys
Don't let 'em bash bodhrans and sleep in their suits
Leave 'em play boxes, concertinas and flutes
Mamas, don't let your babies turn into fleadh cowboys
They'll end up unconscious
Or "screaming yiz C*nts yiz"
Even at someone they lo-ove]
