Leap for Larkin

Tonight our favorite Irish band, Larkin will be playing upstairs at McNellies. The Guinness will be flowing freely (not actually free, but cheap at $4 for an imperial pint) and the crowd will be full of Irish cheer. Their infectious enthusiasm for all things Irish is a great way to get geared up for St. Patrick's Day.

Larkin is a 6-member band from Tulsa who plays traditional Irish folk tunes and uses instruments such as the tin whistle and fiddle. Vocalist Chad Malone bursts with charisma as he roars out lyrics in an Irish accent. The more pints they consume, the more difficult they are to understand. It's all part of their charm.

They begin at 10pm, or "whenever they're good and ready," as their poster indicates. So come out, raise your pint, and be sure to slosh it on the floor so all my customers downstairs will complain about getting dripped on all night.

Afterall, the 29th is an extra day added to the year. Spend your bonus day getting bolloxed with the Irish.
