notorious- Mind the Craic! from Nicky Getgood on Vimeo.
Music and pubs are always a good combination, whatever Environmental Health might think, so on Sunday I went to join the Notorious ‘choir with a difference’ on their Mind the Craic! crawl of The Old Crown, The Kerry Man and the Spotted Dog.
It was a lovely afternoon, starting off gently with traditional folk tunes in The Old Crown. Band Elfynn were ‘bridging the gap between the traditional and the contemporary’ in The Kerry Man and their jigs got people in the dancing mood.
Spotted Dog landlord John Tighe took a bit of a shine to Elfynn’s Louisa Davies-Foley. “I love girls who play the violin, it’s almost as erotic as the harp.”
In the choir’s last stop at The Spotted Dog, Notorious sang re-worked popular music such the Boomtown Rats’ I Don’t Like Mondays in the above video. After they finished everyone got stuck into some delicious stew.
It was such a lovely idea – a pub crawl with a cultural difference. Hopefully there will be a lot more of this type of thing to help Keep Digbeth Vibrant.
