The CD opener has an amazing title: “The Ghost of the Public House”. Banjo and fiddle do a great job, together with lead vocals and hey hey background vocals. The main theme is really catchy, let alone the chorus. The banjo is showcased towards the end and soon the fiddle joins.

The next cut is called “Sláinte”. It has an acoustic beginning before the full band jump in. If the previous track was based on banjo and fiddle, “Sláinte” is based on fiddle and electric guitar. In fact, there is an interesting battle between Elsa and Seb.

Elsa sings lead vocals on “Tough Love”. Banjo and rhythm section open for the rest of the band. The song evolves into a boy/girl Celtic punk number to file together with The Pogues “Fairy Tale of New York” or Dropkick Murphys “Dirty Glass”. Apart from singing, Elsa plays fiddle too.

“I Won’t Miss You” is also sung by Elsa. It’s a quieter number featuring acoustic guitar, banjo and rhythm section, but no fiddle.

The EP is coming to its end and “I Won’t Miss you” is followed by the band’s fiddle led anthemic song “9 to 5”. The closing number is The Mullins‘ rendition of “The Irish Rover”. It’s the only standard on the EP and The Mullins have added some excelent fiddle arrangements to the song.

“Beers & Feelings” comes in a 4 panel digipack. The Folk’n’Punk Brigade logo is printed on the rear panel. This brigade is a collective of bands from France (The Mullins, Sons of O’Flaherty, The Maggie Whackers, The Moorings, To the Last Drop, The Flawers, Jack Raven’s Whores and Saints and Sinners), Quebec (Bodh’aktan), Italy (Uncle Bard & The Dirty Bastards and The Clan), Spain (13 Krauss), Hungary (Paddy and The Rats) and Germany (Restless Feet).

There are quite a few interesting bands in the French celtic punk/rock scene. This means that the fans have plenty of options to choose. The Mullins are following The Moorings footsteps. The band from the South of France is not an outsider, but one of the French bands with a bright future.
