For all Shanahans and Ramblers out there ~

~ whether by foot or language or both…

In O’Neills as

The Woodcock.

Shanahan’s Rambles, X:5

As played by Conal Ó Gráda, Benny McCarthy and Dave Sheridan - the Raw Bar Collective. This version seems to me to follow through the natural logic of the second and third parts.
