LOL That would be a good one, Nancy!
Akusgal...I didn't see the aftershow part, but I'm sorry I missed it! It sounds like it probably *was* from the same show. Dolly was HILARIOUS on that episode. I was so surprised and excited to see that AKUS was the band that day because there were several performances done. I was watching because of Dolly, of course...AKUS hadn't even been mentioned in the previews. I kept waiting and waiting on Oprah to call Alison over to talk about her contribution to the album and she never did. It was never even really acknowledged that Alison was on the album. Dolly did thank them a few times and brought attention to them, though. I'd LOVE to hear Alison's live performance of 9 to 5! We've recently added that one to our setlist, but have yet to do it out anywhere. It makes an AWESOME bluegrass song!

FREEWHEELER -
I happened on my recording of the AKUS CMT Total Access show and remembered that you were interested in what they showed during the Ireland portion so as I ate my lunch I watched the show and jotted down some notes:
It started out with "Restless" the first night at the Olympic Theatre. As they are singing it shows them having arrived earlier at the airport and putting their bags on the bus. Then it shows the band riding the bus through Dublin but no distinctive landmarks. Their second song is "Rain Please Go Away" . During the song there are comments by the band members regarding Bluegrass and its ties to Ireland. OK now for what you were looking for: ...
After the concert they all go to O'Donohue's Pug and listen to a group there. The guys all have a Guinness and try their best to get Alison to drink one, but it sounds like she had tried one the last time that they were in Ireland and at least it looks like she passed on the Guinness. Then it shows them walking through the streets back to the Hotel. Never did see which one, but the last scene shows them walking in where there are glass doors with a W inside a circle on the glass.
They start out day two again walking the street. They see some sculpture of a huge rabbit and Alison convinces Barry to get his picture taken with it. As they walk further I see a building with the sign ROCOCO. They come to a statue of Molly Malone - don't know who she was, but the statue is "well-endowed" and Alison jokes that she had modeled for it the last time she was in Ireland. Finally after their second concert it shows them loading the bus up for Scotland.
That's about it. Hope this quenches some of your curiosity about the show.

Molly Malone is in a famous Irish song - 'In Dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, as she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow, crying cockles and mussles alive, alive-o! ' My guess is she sold cockles & mussles?!! I'm from the North, bout 2 hrs away from Dublin, so that's the only light I can shed on Molly!

Doug, thanks for the info. I know O'Donohues very well, it is where the legendary Irish Folk band "The Dubliners" were founded. As Leah also rightly says Molly Malone had a song dedicated to her, she was a mythical Dublin figure, a lady who sold fish for a living and to make ends meet so to speak did a bit of "Night Work". As Verse 3 says, "She died of a fever", but it's a famous Dublin song. I can see why Alison might be reluctant to commit to a Guinness, it's an acquired taste but once it gets you, that's it, no other beer comes close.
Thanks for the info Doug.
Phelim.
