Erin go Braugh – The Joy of Irish Music

For St. Patrick’s Day I thought I would post about Irish music. As I began researching the history of Irish music it became increasingly evident a simple post could never do justice to its rich traditions. Irish music is a subset of the genre of Celtic music, although the two terms are often used interchangeably. A nice introduction to Celtic music can be found at:

In recent years the popularity of such artists as the Chieftains, Celtic Woman, and Enya have brought Celtic music to the masses. After researching several choices on YouTube I selected this as a good example of Irish folk music. Enjoy.
