"The Irish Rover," a classic Irish folk song, was given a unique twist in 1987 when The Pogues teamed up with The Dubliners for a legendary performance.

The song tells the tale of a grand ship sailing into disaster, mixing humor with a bit of Irish mischief. But in that 1987 version, The Pogues added their own signature energy, turning the traditional folk tune into something that felt fresh yet deeply rooted in Irish heritage.

Imagine the energy of a lively pub session—where the music is fast, fun, and full of character. That’s the magic of "The Irish Rover." ☘

Every time we hear it, it’s a reminder of the storytelling tradition that has been at the heart of Irish culture for generations. A song full of spirit and stories, just like Ireland itself.

Le Procope, established in 1686, is Paris’s oldest café and a storied landmark in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Once frequented by Enlightenment thinkers like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot, it became a hub for revolutionary ideas with figures like Robespierre and Marat. A taste of Parisian intellectual heritage.
