A hooley is a huge Irish party and with “Welcome…” Neck are clearly stating everyone is welcome at a Neck show – Black, White, Brown and even Green (how ’bout Orange? Leeson?). “Welcome….” was recorded as a response to some trouble Neck had with boneheads in Germany and the US. It’s all very punkie but not the best think Neck has every recorded. The b-side is a new version of “On The Night (That) The Shamrock Was Drowned” especially for all the Neck fanatics and a newish recording of their instrumental ‘Shite’n’Onions’ (familiar?) previously only available on “Shite’n’Onions” volume 1″
