'I鈥檇 nearly buy a poker to sing to that!'

Willie the Whinge wants to buy a poker to sing along to Red Hurley. Sean says he used a hairbrush for singing.

Can I ask you a question,鈥 says Willie the Whinge. 鈥淲as Red Hurley a front room singer?鈥

鈥淚 doubt if he was a front room singer,鈥 Sean says. 鈥淏ut he may have been! We鈥檒l put it out there and ask the people!鈥

鈥淗e鈥檚 a great chanter!鈥 says Willie. 鈥淚鈥檇 nearly go out and buy a poker to sing into it鈥 if I had a real fire.鈥

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 sing into a poker,鈥 Sean says. 鈥淣or did I sing into a bottle! One of my sisters had a plastic brush with long teeth. And a little round ball at the end. For backcombing, maybe? That was my microphone. It was a hairbrush!鈥
