With Easter coming up and all, here’s a little something to get you in the spirit.

THE dirge-like Irish classic song Danny Boy has been banned for a month by an Irish pub in New York because it’s too depressing and was written by an Englishman.

“It’s overplayed, it’s been ranked among the 25 most depressing songs of all time, and it’s more appropriate for a funeral than for a St Patrick’s Day celebration,” said Shaun Clancy, who owns Foley’s Pub and Restaurant, just off Fifth Avenue opposite the Empire State Building.
