Some European bands have celebrated their anniversaries in the recent years, Greenland Whalefishers in 2014 (20th Anniversary) and Fiddler’s Green in 2015 (25th Anniversary). Both bands have got a huge following in Europe and the USA. The Booze Brothers are a little bit younger, as they were born in 1998 (15th Anniversary in 2013), but they also deserve a huge following. Unfortunately, The Booze Brothers have had their ups and downs and their discography is not very long.
I came across their second album “Elevator” (2004), that was available on CDBaby and I loved them. But after that they only released another two studio albums, “Hang on” (2007) and “Reels & Squeals” (2010). The latter was issued under the name The Booze, since the bassist (a founding member) and the drummer left the band. Although the band’s story is a sort of a rollercoaster, their front man Bert Yates has been able to keep the band alive. So, they decided to record a DVD at their “headquarters” in Toulouse (La Dynamo Club Concert). The show was shot on St.Patrick’s Day 2014 and a CD was released at the beginning of May 2015. The DVD was finally released in November 2015.
The show began with the band’s very own “ Boozin’ “ haka. Bert aka Big Beurky (lead vocals, whistles, bouzouki, guitar, wearing a kilt and an All Blacks shirt), Laure Nuzzi aka Laure de Bigorre (bodhrán, percussion, backg. Vocals), Eristoff (accordion), Kuba (electric guitar), Juju (bass) and Ploufi (drums) gave it all their got. The venue was fully packed and the crowd went really mad. Not only is Big Beurky a multi-instrumentalist, but an excellent front man too.
The setlist consisted of 21 numbers, 5 from “Elevator”, 4 from “Hang On” and 7 from “Reels and Squeals”, together with their 4th version of "Wild Rover" (there is a different rendition on every album). Apart from that, a set titled “Black and Tans” (“Recruiting Sergeant” / “Drowsy Maggie” / "Black and Tans” / “Morrison’s”), “Craonne” (a French anti-war song), “Inisheer” (set of tunes) and two brand new songs, “Burn My Way” and “She Ain’t the One”.
Some highlights:
- “US Army Lyrics” are changed by Russian Army and Syrian Army.
- “Craonne”, featuring “Ryan’s Polka” at the end
- Their hit “Just for the Fun” + “The Kesh”
- “Inisheer”, where Bert played low whistle on the first tune and then switched to tin whistle on “Julia Delaney’s”. He asked the crowd to put their “fecking hands in the air” and sing along “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido” and then the band played a wild version of “King of the Fairies”
-“Eth perrac arroi” where Bert played whistle and bouzouki, Eristoff’s accordion was showcased and “Gravel Walk” was played at the end.
- “Right Wing No More” a rocking song with an amazing guitar work by Polish guitarist Kuba, featuring “The Cooley’s”
-“Tana”, one of the hottest moments with Bert’s crowd surfing
-“I Want Sex”, where Laure played with Bert’s kilt and Kuba crowd surfed too
-The “ Boozin’ “ haka to finish up the show
Several cameras shot the gig, a couple of them at the front, another at the rear of the venue, another one at the back of the stage and another one on Juju’s bass.
The Celtic punk scene should acknowledge the place that The Booze Brothers deserve. Long before CelKilt and The Moorings, The Booze Brothers were spreading their Irish TradFolkRockPunk all over Europe. Why don't you do yourself a favor and buy the DVD rather than the CD? Then you will enjoy the atmosphere of a The Booze Brothers gig: sets of traditional tunes, self-penned Celtic punk anthems, jokes, heat, sweat, stage diving, crowd surfing and lots of stout.
