Drum roll please.....
The Dubliners - Fields of Athenry
There's few bigger sporting occasions in Ireland than the All Ireland Finals in our homegrown Irish sports of Hurling and Gaelic Football. Last weekend featured @niallon11 home team of Clare who put on a heroic performance to beat favourites Cork in one of the best games of Hurling I've ever seen.
Tony Kelly take a bow, talk about a captain leading by example! Have a look at this highlights reel if you want to watch the best Sport in the world.
Well this weekend coming is Galway's turn and I have my ticket and can't wait for it now. The two most successful teams of all time and current strong teams Kerry and Dublin are both out and only Armagh stand in Galway's way now.
So this week, I'm going for Galway songs. Here's the first.
Green road - The Galway Shawl
In Ireland, your team is your home county and that's that. You won't find any Galway man shouting for Kerry or Dublin because they are good teams. It doesn't work like that here. Your team is where you were born and for me that's Galway. I'm Galway through and through and proud and please God we can get the job done on Sunday now.
Were we to lose though, there's worse teams to lose to, as Armagh have only ever won the famous Sam Maguire cup once in 2023, while Galway have won it 9 times, most recently in 2001, so we are 23 years waiting now.
Here's my second Galway song.
Sharon Shannon and Mundy - Galway Girl
I'll leave ye with this one, as it features some nice shots of Galway where this song was performed eight years ago by Sharon Shannon and Mundy.
Hon Galway!!!!!!
Hon the Tribes!!!!!

Three Tune Tuesday
That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 165th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Over the years, I have listened to fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interacted with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
