The Rubberbandits and Boyzone…the unlikeliest St. Patrick’s Day collaboration?

St. Patrick’s Day is full of music and celebrations, but Scotland witnessed one of the more unlikely Irish music gigs over the weekend.

St. Patrick’s Day is full of music and celebrations, but Scotland witnessed one of the more unlikely Irish music gigs over the weekend.

By Declan Whooley

The 3 Sisters Bar in Edinburgh is a well-known watering hole to anyone that has spent time in the city, and St. Patrick’s Day is one of the busiest days with anyone with remote Irish connections getting into the swing of things.

Patrons were treated to an Irish collaboration of the Rubberbandits and a couple of the Boyzone lads, as the revellers witnessed one of the most unlikely collaborations we have seen in a while.

They lads even had a rap-off on stage at the end, though we didn’t hear who got the upperhand.

Judging by the photo, and the tweet below, we think it’s safe to say the Scottish gig went down well.

Hat-tip to Donal Hurrell for the photo.
