Irish Music

Here are some nice videos of Irish music. I hope you enjoy them.

    1st video is the song Galway Girl in Irish by Mundy.
    The 2nd video is by Mundy again and is a song called Mexico.
    The 3rd video is hip hop in Irish.
    The 4th video is a song called The Little Musgrave by Planxty. It is hundreds of years old.
    The 5th video is a demonstration of the uilleann pipes, a traditional Irish musical instrument, similar to the bagpipes from Scotland but more musical. It is played here by Liam Og O Flynn.
    The last video is the Dubliners and a song called The Monto about a street in Dublin 100 years ago that was a famous red light district.

Stephen, what a lovely idea! I was speaking to Karina yesterday and she told me about your blog and I decided coming to see how it was and I loved it!

Keep it going and I'll be round whenever I have a couple of times. Hope you're keeping well.

Talk soon,
Janaina.

Hi Janaina

Thanks for dropping by. Hope everything is well with yourself.

To be honest I haven't a clue what I'm doing with the blog so I'm open to suggestions from anyone with a good idea what to stick on the blog.

All the best

Stephen
