VIDEO: This drunken trad session featuring a gigantic dancing banana should give you a laugh

"Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool"

“Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk you silly old fool”.

We wouldn’t blame you if you started to to think that the best craic in Ireland is had at a decent trad session and long may this continue.

We’ve seen some great clips over the last few months of sessions that just spontaneously happened all over Ireland. Fair play to all those musical characters on taxi ranks, airplanes and streets but JOE reader Willy Small brought our attention to a far more ‘colourful’ trad fan.

Willy was playing a gig in Norway last week at an Irish Pub called the Dubliner when he spotted an individual that was dressed up as one of the ‘Bananas in Pyjamas’ characters.

Note, this is last week, not Halloween. Basically, this Irishman just fancied walking the streets of Norway dressed as a gigantic banana on a random day in October before dancing to some brilliant trad music. What a guy!

Take a look as Willy performs The Dubliners classic 7 Drunken Nights with a very eager, happy and knowledgeable fan in attendance.
