Someone tried to describe this next video to me as “that Guinness ad”. After spending sometime finding out which one I may as well throw it up on here, its a brilliant advert.

I’ve recently been in touch with someone who uploads videos onto Youtube and found this excellent footage in his collection. I don’t know much about the girl performing the song but for those interested the song is originally by Foster & Allen and called Bunch of Thyme.

As you can see the girl in the video is extremely talented and has a brilliant voice, great to see such a poetic song being performed so brilliantly.

If you have not heard Christy Moore before it would be safe to tell you that he is an Irish legend when it comes to songwriting and peforming songs.

This is a great a video of the North West 200 Superbike race of 2006 which is held every year in Northern Ireland and attracts thousands of visitors from around Europe.
