This one was recorded on the way home from McKinney after the Lone Star Celtic Festival, which unfortunately lost a whole day to rain, but recovered nicely the next day with absolutely perfect weather.
We also welcome back Dennis from Doc's Irish Tours, who runs down the entire itinerary for two week tour of IRELAND coming up this September. We'll be visiting the North and the South, and you can join us for both or choose one or the other. Dennis and Patrick also discuss tips on flights, clothing, and currency.

Extra Slap on the Back
SlapperCast Episode 270: "Extra Slap on the Back"
This one recorded last night after Patrick returned from Philadelphia, where he attended the funeral of his much beloved brother-in-law Tim Mohan. There's so much to be said about Tim that I don't think we can articulate yet, but Patrick does his best to do so here.
We then steer into more lighthearted topics, including our (possibly) newly-improved attitude about the Dallas area, thanks to venues like the Wounded Ostrich, where we're playing next month, and big events like the Lone Star Celtic Festival in McKinney, which we'll be playing this coming weekend.

Blueberry Doormats
This one was recorded in bits as we drove ourselves separately to Beaumont and Brenham, intercut with clips from a performance of "Suspicious Minds" filmed with Turbo's 360 camera.
Patrick first shares a conspiracy theory about the donut incident from last week's episode (https://youtu.be/KChkUuC4vKw?si=cic7RrrNlVemIjBF&t=163)
We then catch Chad having "a moment" while driving home from Beaumont, trying to articulate what an amazing reception we got from the audience at Logon Cafe that night.
Then we see Turbo's killer drum solo in the middle of "Suspicious Minds" from our show at HSF Biergarten in Brenham, followed by an adlib from Patrick that apparently some people there thought was rehearsed.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely brilliant!
I’ve loved their music for years, my daughters first concert was Blaggards, it doesn’t hurt that Patrick is easy on the eyes. At a recent concert he mentioned they do a podcast, I had no idea! Now I’m playing catch up and loving every minute! Ta boys!!
I love it!
Congrats. Really. The content is fantastic and extremely interesting.
Thanks for all the hard work, Smalley.
#MoreMcAloon #WheresWes
You don't need a restraining order!
Always packed with great inside information, history, references to other bands, pubs and podcasts. But the most fun for me is picking out Patrick's off the cuff analogies and comments. Always entertaining, just like their live shows. I guarantee you will never see the same Blaggards show twice. You may think you know the lyrics, but you don't. LEMMMMONNNN CAKE!!!
