Bring some Blarney into your kitchen with this 100% cotton, rustic Celtic-looking tea towel. Casually flaunt it in front of your dinner guests: "Oh, this ol' thing? It's just a TOTALLY AWESOME Heavy Blarney tea towel!" As well as drying plates, it can also be used to dry glasses, small children, stray kiwi (probably best to check with the Department of Conservation before doing this) and the cutlery in your cutlery drawer percussion set.

about

A heavy version of the traditional song Follow Me Up To Carlow, about the battle of Glenmalure in 1580.

lyrics

Lift MacCahir Og your face, brooding o'er the old disgrace
That black Fitzwilliam stormed the place, and drove you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure, and soon the firebrand he'd secure;
Until he met at Glenmalure with Feach MacHugh O'Byrne.

Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam, have a care
Fallen is your star, low
Up with halberd out with sword
On we'll go for by the Lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word,
Follow me up to Carlow.

See the swords of Glen Imayle, flashing o'er the English Pale
See all the children of the Gael, beneath O'Byrne's banners
Rooster of a fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners

From Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore
O great is Rory Og O'More, at sending loons to Hades
White is sick and Lane is fled, now for black Fitzwilliam's head
We'll send it over dripping red, to Queen Liza and the ladies
