Crystal Swing are a Country and Western group from Lisgoold, East Cork, Ireland. The family group is made up of mother Mary and her teenage children Dervla and Derek.[1]
The group gained national notoriety in February 2010 when a YouTube video of their single "He Drinks Tequila" became viral sensation after their video was posted by several well-known bloggers including drag performer Panti[2] and comedy writer Graham Linehan.[3] A few days later the video was posted by Sean Moncrieff on the website of radio station Newstalk.[4] The video achieved 80,000 hits in four days gaining nationwide media attention. Despite being offered to perform on Newstalk, Crystal Swing opted to perform on the RTÉ flagship show the Late Late Show, who demanded exclusive rights.
