Music video for the Irish girl pop group's very last single, which flopped horribly. I found this song quite alright "way back then", especially the acappella part in the video. Guilty pleasure, then. From their second and last album of the same name, released in 2004. Director: Urban Ström.

I'd be remiss if I didn't try to post at least one tune this week! Here's a common hornpipe I recorded with one take. I make some silly faces during the tune, but I suspect you'll forgive me. I wish I could find my other whistle...

A couple of great tunes. The first is an Irish one called the Silver Spear usually played together with Maid Behind the Bar and the second is a French Newfoundland tune composed by Emile Benoit and named after Pistroli en Atlantique - a music festival held in New Brunswick I think.
