The
Radetsky Prost
A Classic mix


The Radetzky Prost came about during President Finty's lucid moment of 1999. Passing the time between a wedding ceremony and the reception, il Presidente was in the bar with his fellow quartetians with copious pintage and great hilarity all around.

Premierski Charlie McCarthy was back at his drawingboard, yet another attempt at a Blue Danube Prost having gone for a burton when - to the delight of his medical supervisors - President Finty suddenly emerged into the warm light of clarity and sprang The Radetzky Prost on a delighted world.
The Radetzky Prost, as it's name suggests, is a

Prost which at last allows the simultaneous singing of light Classical music with communal clinking of beer glasses. It is, however, a tricky one and shouldn't really be done with full pints. The basic premise is to sing the opening bars of the Radetzky March and then, at the appropriate moment, clink the glasses top & bottom before slamming them on the table. Continue with the Prost as usual after that. Press play to see it in action....
