On Friday, the Zagreb Factory held St. Patrick Mini Festival. At the festival, along with veteran Belfast Food staged the young forces of Irish music in Croatia, Shamrock and Slip.

Shamrock is a group of young men and women who also like Belfast Food come from the river (presumably because of its rock-port Rijeka identity, a fertile ground for the Irish). At the base composition consisting of guitar, bass and drum, builds a banjo, violin and flute thin whistle.

With the occasional treatment of traditional Irish songs Shamrock mostly played tunes in the Croatian language, but with a distinctive Irish soundtrack, mainly in faster and fiercer punk attire. If you like, Shamrock are similar to Flogging Molly than The Pogues. Presented the nice texts and safe playing, and we are left to see if anything wider audience to accept new Irish-Croatian folk-rock band.

Slip the band from Zagreb, which has existed for several years, a part of the band he used to play Shamrock Rovers. Their music is strictly true traditional Irish music. They play the instruments on the violin, flutes, acoustic guitar and bodhran drum. Traditional Irish Reel combine with its own copyright trading, a great knowledge of the subject matter competence of the musicians in their performance more than visible.

This was the 14th Saint Patrick forBelfast food, and their longevity is primarily responsible to their quality. In addition to all the excellent instrumentalists, and they know from time to time to write a good and memorable pop songs. In addition, their music is primarily intended to playing a live.

In addition to the Irish folk and folk-rock to the fore in the form of occasional miniatures, but also whole arrangements of individual songs, came and their tendency broader musical spectrum, from classic pop-rock, to the Mediterranean and Latin American music.

In the factory are both proven treatments "If I Should Fall From Grace With God", "Step It Out Mary," "Rocky Road To Dublin" and his "Tonight I'm leaving," "Fat March", "Mate i Matilda" "out of town" danced younger audience among whom there were plenty of those for whom this was the first Irish festival, and we are older, we have at least half of the 14 Saints Patrick's celebrate with them, forced at least hopping.

Erik is admittedly a couple of times in the semi-jokingly protested the stage that everyone in the audience somehow dead and no. Maybe you gained that impression because the factory was slightly fewer people than in previous years, and to blame for the recession and hopefully it will be better next year.

However, in the final part of the concert when the order came "Šporki old town" (which is in the middle briefly melted down into "I'm Easy" Faith No More), "Streams Of Whiskey", "Whiskey In The Jar", " crazy like a waterfall "and" Irish Rover ', there was no problem with the atmosphere.

Belfast Food were also confirmed at the end of that, when it comes to Irish music, in this area but they are still the boss. Love Croats to Irish music, beer and joy continues ...

Croatia has about 4.5 million inhabitants.
Ireland has similar population.

Many centuries, Croatia is at the edge of Europe. A Catholic country from 7th century AC.
Ireland remained Catholic after London went other way.

Croatia is beautiful land with the clean farm lands, rivers, mountains and sea. Adriatic. Our people know who we are. But we have corrupt politicians from ever.
Ireland is much more up north, clean, a bit colder, but they know who they are.
