What Is It About Mullingar And Musically Talented Men? You’ll Never Guess Who Is From Westmeath…

First Bressie, then Niall Horan and now... Bruce Springsteen. Yes the Boss has roots in Mullingar. (If you’re an O’ Hagon or a Mc Nicholas, we envy you).

On Tuesday we posted 18 Reasons Why We Love Bruce Springsteen to celebrate the end of his two-year tour. This video taken in Thomond Park, Limerick shows a display of true Irish hospitality as Bruce was handed a custom made Irish passport.

To celebrate his new citizenship he then spoke briefly about his ancestors and finished up, downing a pint. (Very slowly, but we’ll let him away with it)

He really is a ledge-bag.
