Cavan town’s fleadh: some background

by planetparker

A musician born in Co. Cavan was living in the States. He couldn’t believe his luck when he was asked to write the music for a film which, the promoters said, was going to gross big. On completion of the score for the film, which he was told was about Ireland’s seven hundred years of oppression by England, he was paid handsomely and promised that he would be invited to its first screening.

 Some months later the invitation arrived, but to the composer’s disgust the first screening was to take place in a cinema well known for showing “porno” films. Swallowing his he went along anyway, but decided to keep a low profile, so he sat at the very back, alongside an elderly pair.

 The film left nothing to the imagination; there were graphic scenes featuring masturbation, group sex, anal sex and oral sex, while towards the end there was even some scenes featuring a dog having sex with a woman.

 When it was over the highly-embarrassed composer bent over to the couple beside him and explained that he was only there because he had written the film score, to which the old woman replied: “We’re only here because that was our dog.”
