Yes "Whiskey in the Jar" by Thin Lizzy as other people have said. Brought back great memories - and sad memories as well. As far as I'm concerned the death of Phyl Lynott was on of the greatest tragedies British Rock music has seen.
In case anybody is wondering, the music near the beginning of the episode was "Dance with the Devil" by Cozy Powell , arguably the greatest Rock drummer to come out of the UK (he also sadly died in 1998)

Definitely was Thin Lizzy and Whiskey - great song, great band and great front man RIP. There was a bit of Rocket Man by The Queen interlaced throughout the show but the good song was Thin Lizzy ;-)

Was it Elton John's Rocket man ? Can't remeber if it was playing over the end credits, but they played it a couple of times during the show

thin lizzy "whiskey in the jar" ::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya
(Chorus)
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Wait for my daddy-o
Wait for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
(chorus)
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
(chrous)
