Singers that "Oirish up"
Listening to Laura Marlin on Marc Riley last night, her first song was good but then on her second song she slipped into an odd cod-Irish brogue. Her speaking voice was clear with no strong accent at all. Why do singers, mostly female singers of a folkie persuasion, feel the need to Oirish up? It sounds like they're doing a bad pirate impersonation.
