Tuesday was St. Patrick´s Day, which is barely celebrated despite the Celtic connection the Galicians and Irish have. There is a single Irish bar in town which had festivities. So we went and got our free Guinness hats with our pints . There was also an ¨Irish concert¨ which left me (person who shares her name with a county in Ireland) and my best friend (former Irish dancer) immensely disappointed. Seriously, the guy played for 2 hours, and in that time only played 2 classic Irish drinking songs in addition to two U2 songs. The rest had no connection with Ireland. What is this!?! On top of it, he played super slow, not the kind of ambiance you would expect on St. Patrick´s Day which is all about being happy, not drowning your sorrows. You could tell the guy started getting drunk as the night wore on, and would sing in Spanish and make up the words, or just yell random stuff at the audience like he wanted to start a fight. To conclude, I wish I had spent the holiday at home where they actually know how to celebrate it!
