I don't hate it here or anything, more a case of 'why not'? I don't see myself living in NI all my life & Canada seems to have this pull for me. It's funny though, at home it's dangerous to be patriotic.....Keep your opinions to yourself, don't mention it, make no eye contact. As soon as I am out of the county I am the biggest partiot around, there's no stopping me!
You can't beat a good Irish pub for that! Well done with the music recordings and all, I love traditional live music. If you have anything online that I can download I would be most interested
