Have you ever heard Noel Stallard doing the Father O'Brien act. He has a perfect Irish accent. He can do it and make it funny and believable...I wouldn't attempt it. And you should see/hear him doing Bush Christening...the Irish Accent makes that poem doubly enjoyable.

Yes, I love Manfred's version of Bush Christening - very funny.
As a kid my mother had a recording of Said Hanrahan and I can still hear the (unknown) male voice that did that poem and that's how I read it. It left an impression.

I do them all with an accent, Rang a friend last week and used an Indian accent she hung up on me and left the phone off the hook for ages 
Yes Heather pretty bloody hard to do Said Handrahan or A Bush Christening any other way .
