[edit] Removed links to individual band members
At first I made wiki links for the individual band members but they redirect here anyway so I've removed them. For future reference (god forbid they break up or something, or maybe in case they do some additional non-FM work) here's a list of the band members' articles:
- Dave King (vocals, acoustic guitar)
- Bridget Regan (fiddle, tin whistle, uilleann pipes)
- Dennis Casey (electric guitar)
- Matt Hensley (accordion, concertina)
- Nathen Maxwell (bass guitar)
- Bob Schmidt (mandolin, banjo)
- George Schwindt (drums, (bodhran)
Matt Hensley leaves the band, RIP you will be sorely missed. 12/10/06
- Got references? I checked their website, and I see nothing about Matt leaving. 58.105.64.116 11:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I never saw anything about that either. I'll look. +1baka 09:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
I have uploaded the following "free-use as long as the photographer is credited" photos (all by Shawn Bishop, as you can see if you click on them).
I've picked one for the article, but I'm not totally sure myself so feel free to talk about it if you prefer a different one of these pictures or any other picture.

[edit] Page reordered
I rearranged the order of the page a bit, mainly in order to bring the table of contents box back up to the top. Hope I didn't step on anyone's toes with this edit! Akradecki 06:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I approve of your edit! Simoes 10:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Driving Forces"
Not to detract from the talents of Dave and Bridget, Nathan's energetic bass playing and the group's overall cohesiveness in live shows are also important contributing factors to the band's success.
[edit] "Black Friday Rule"
Does anyone know which Black Friday the band is referring to in "Black Friday Rule"? Thanks, just curious. --Brasswatchman 23:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I've thought about that too, and just a guess, seeing as how they are irish, and the
irish are mainly roman catholic, i think it refers to the friday before Easter known as black friday or good friday. Though im not sure how the lyrics would go along with this religious day, but im also not positive what the black friday RULE is. Maybe you would want to look into what this rule thing is about black friday. P.S. can anyone help me get this text out of this box (im new to this wiki stuff) (Unsigned)
Fixed your comment. Also, in Whiskey on a Sunday, Dave stated that the song itself was about leaving home; taking the plunge into the unknown. If you see the article on Black Friday, there are numerous events with that name. Almost certainly he's referring to Friday the Thirteenth, which is a day traditionally supposed to bring bad luck. I'm not exactly sure why he references this in the song, though. 58.109.10.16 09:59, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
just here to talk. I'm curious too. While it is true a Black friday is a friday the 13th of a month, lots of things happen then. I seem to remember something about the civil war in ireland happening on a black friday. please help le look into this, try to find content on Ireland and items worth mention on the music. Post info on black friday to th Black Friday Rule song page.+1baka 09:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] www.26f.com ..?
Why does this domain refer to Flogging Molly.com? Are they publishing a new album or such (?) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.220.74.37 (talk) 12:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC).
possibly the 26 counties in the Republic Of Ireland??? f could be for flogging or possibly freesate????
[edit] Worst trivia ever
"The song "Tobacco Island" makes reference to Oliver Cromwell and his taking over of parts of Ireland."
astonishingly pointless.
