Review: Irish Drinking Songs For Cat Lovers/Marc Gunn & The Dublin Tabby Cats
by Bridget Haggerty (and others)

Are you a cat lover? Do you love to sing Irish drinking songs? Then this unique CD for the die-hard cat fanatic was made for you! Listen to all the tunes you hear on st. Patrick's Day by the Dubliners, the Clancy Brothers, the Wolfe tones, and the Irish Rovers. Then laugh out loud at the clever lyrics Marc Gunn has created to accompany the music - for example, Lord of the Pounce - a parody of Lord of the Dance. It goes on like that through fifteen feline adapted tracks which have garnered applause, encores and four-paws up from combo cat and Irish music lovers all over the world.

Should you be concerned over your dignity? An old Irish Saying goes: "Never trust a man who doesn't like cats."

Now then, are you saying to yourself, is this man daft, drunk, or both? Well, he was sober when he made the CD - you can tell that from the quality of the music. But he is a bit over the top when it comes to his unabashed love of cats. And that's purrfectly alright with us; we definitely understand what these amazing creatures will do to one's mind and heart. And we're not the only ones who appreciate what Marc has accomplished when he combined cats and celts to create this furry well-done collection:

And this is just a sampling of the raves the CD has received!

So there you have it - and we hope you'll buy it. Marc funded the project himself because none of the labels could be persuaded that an irish music CD featuring feline related lyrics would be of any interest. Our hope is that it will become such a huge hit Marc will be able to finance a sequel - the songs are written; but there's no money in the kitty - ahem, we mean we're out to prove the music label's are wrong. There IS money in the kitty!
