Irish folk music is enjoying a revival

of Ireland’s traditional music is fixed in the global imagination. You may have seen it play out in, an Oscar-nominated film: as locals quaff Guinness, beaming men and women play lightning-fast reels on fiddles and bodhráns in the firelit snug of a cosy pub. There is some truth to this image, says Charles Hendy, even though the easy-going boozy “session” is not a home-grown concept, but one that originated among Irish emigrants in England.

These artists offer something different stylistically: you won’t hear an acoustic guitar played the same way twice. They are, however, united by their Irishness and their love of the music. You can still hear those zippy reels, as well as laments and ballads which deal with the vicissitudes of life. Though Irish folk music has never disappeared, it has ebbed and flowed in the wider consciousness.

Did you notice 50% of the NG turn their backs on the Biden Inaugural Motorcade? Did you notice Biden got the funeral Cannon Salute not the Traditional 21 gun salute and the number of cannons? Did you notice Biden didn't cancel Trump EO's and what was in them? Tribunals coming.

Kill me

I love Irish music for a long time. Celtic woman and Irish tenors are my favorite band. I watched River Dance twice, one in Dublin,another in Chengdu China.

Interesting with Irish folk bands and distinctive blues guitar sounds, rhythms. I was in Poland for Kraftwerk concert in Sopot, so spent the day in Gdansk summer festival. The Polish folk band was so good with hints of Irish overtones.

It's been enjoying a revival since the early 70's.

Yep. We're proud to be Irish Not even sure where my brexwit passport is

😄

If the world is short of anything, it’s spaces for protest and social criticism.

The pub has been around for 180+ yrs & they are now just getting the memo that folk music artists often include social commentary in their lyrics?
