1. AGNES AND MUSIC IN THE
DANCING AT LUGHNASA
It’s not Military Dubstep 
Polly, Matt, Josh.

2. BRITISH GRENADIERS
 Agnes, on page 4 explains to Rose about war in Abyssinia.
 THAT was the Italian takeover of the warzone we call Libya.
 She was also explaining why Jack was in Uganda, and Jack was in the
British army, therefore British army music is remarkably appropriate.
 It’s commonly played at the Queen’s birthday bash.

3. MILITARY TWO-STEP
 This doesn’t link to Agnes as such, but have a link anyway.

 This video WILL make you laugh. You have been warned.

4. THE MASON’S APRON
 This song is extremely fast, and frantic in places.
 When this song is played, the sisters start “dancing” and wearing flour
based masks.
 The frantic nature of the song corresponds with their overly frantic
dancing. It also serves as an escape for all of the sisters from day to day
life.

5. DANCING IN THE DARK
 Chris and Gerry (sod) dance to this.
 This song makes Agnes VERY ANGRY, as she has feelings for
Gerry which she attempts to suppress… and fails.

6. ISLE OF CAPRI
 Maggie sings this; Agnes has next to no involvement. (Apart from
the fact that it is sung after she calls Kate a “self righteous bitch” and
storms out).
 Still, have a link.

7. ANYTHING GOES
 Gerry fixes the radio, and sings this song and slowdances around
the garden with Agnes.
 The romantic connection between them is highlighted, but soared
ten feet over Chris’s head.
 As far as Gerry is concerned, Anything (as far as women go) Goes.

8. IT’S TIME TO SAY
GOODNIGHT
 This takes place in Michael’s final monologue, with night
symbolising the end of the play, and the eternal sleep of some of the
(dead) characters.
 This is not played through the radio, this links to the first
statement.
