Festival Contests Adult Craft Workshops Fake Irish Accent Contest Fri., 7:30 p.m., meet near the Pub in the Roundhouse Try your Irish accent skills and win a major award. Who is the judge? The real Irish guy from the band! What do you win? BEER! (the Scottish need not apply). Sure you can fake the Irish accent, but if you don’t mix in a few of these phrases into your sentence structure you will sound like any gobshite. Try phrases like “are ye going for a swalley,” “suck’n’ diesel,’ and “would ya look at the hack of him.” Learning an accent can come in handy for many different occasions, mainly to bewilder your coworkers and friends with your emerald flair.
