We are delighted to be able to present something special to you today! beingirish.berlin is not only about Irish pubs, but also about the music that breathes life into these places. And what could embody the connection between pub culture and music better than Celtic Punk? That’s why we’re especially proud to partner exclusively with the act Shannon Rebellion to bring you their new song „Punk In A Pub“.
Not just a song - but also a statement!
With their unmistakable folk and punk influences, Shannon Rebellion have created a song that is not only catchy, but also conveys an important message. “Punk In A Pub” is a sing-along anthem for all kinds of people in a pub – amidst Guinness-filled glasses, dim lighting and rousing melodies. But the song goes even further: it stands for tolerance and speaks out clearly against racism. At a time when these issues are more important than ever, Shannon Rebellion sends a strong signal for diversity.
Celtic Punk meets Pub Culture
The idea for “Punk In A Pub” was born out of a deep connection with pub culture. For many, the Irish pub is not just a place to drink, but a place to meet – a melting pot where people from different backgrounds come together to share stories, celebrate and experience music. Shannon Rebellion capture exactly this feeling and combine it with their rebellious energy. The B-side of the single also bears witness to this: “Uprising” is an energetic punk rock instrumental inspired by Scottish and Irish reels.

Lyrics
Punk in a pub, punk in a pub
Drunk is that scrub
And fairly enough: With beer in his cup
He’s part of the Irish club.
Hippie in a pub, hippie in a pub
Gets his ale outta a wooden tub
And fairly enough: He drinks it all up
He’s part of the Irish club
Girls in a pub, girls in a pub
Always keep asking “What’s up?”
And fairly enough: They love Baileys shots
They’re part of the Irish club
Jerk in a pub, jerk in a pub
Always thirsty, the lousy mutt
And fairly enough: He won’t get whupped
He’s part of the Irish club
Racist in a pub, racist in a pub
Shouts for his drinks but we don’t give a fuck
And fairly enough: He gets beaten his butt
He won’t be part of the Irish club
No beer for racists!
