Wraggle Taggle Songs
Wraggle Taggle are equally at home doing a song-based performance as they are playing tunes for a dance.

Bandleader Mick Bailey built his extensive repertoire of songs during many years performing in public.
   Mick said, "We will gladly do requests if we know them and I'll even try to learn a new song if there's time."
  Mick continued, "There is no formal set list because we really enjoy working with the audience,

finding out what's popular and 'going with the flow'". "We like to start with a lively song like "Whiskey in the Jar"."
  "Humorous songs such as "The Rare Old Mountain Dew" and "Seven Drunken Nights" always go down well".
  "A younger audience often enjoys songs that have been made famous by bands like "The


Pogues" such as"Fairy Tale of New York" and "Dirty Old Town"."
  "Old Time Waltzes such as"The Galway Shawl" and Spancil Hill" are popular with the older generation. We also usually put in one or two during a dance."
  "Some popular songs are almost compulsory e.g. "The Fields of Athenry" and "Wild Rover"."
  "Scottish audiences love "Fleur of Scotland" and the Irish often request "The Town I Love so well"."
  "We build up towards the end perhaps with "The Brown Eyed Girl" or "The Irish Rover"."
