I’m visiting Ireland soon, and wondered if anyone had some reccomendations for Irish music?
Preferably rock, and also anything that would get Irish folks jumping around in a pub?
Thanks everyone.
Yeah flogging molly are really good

It has the dots for every single Irish tune you could ever want!!!
I love it, I’m originally from Ireland (well my parents are) and I went back a few weeks ago to a festival called puck fair, the atmosphere was amazing, pubs packed up with irish folks and loud traditional music playing, the nightlife was great and the people were great too.
HERE’S A NICE EXAMPLE

Paddy’s revenge by Steve Mac.
It uses a loop from "music for a found harmonium", but personally I don’t like it.
i love irish music, but i want the type that it’s just the music or a solo like the violin, flute or both i need some bands or songs like that it can be any instrument it just has to be cheerful.
Try looking up "Altan" on Youtube
or
"The Chieftains"

I need some really upbeat and intense music, almost like Riverdance music at the ending. Music with the actual stepping and clicking would be awesome.
Thanks guys!
Like the other two said, iTunes, or the Riverdance Website. And if you’re an Irish dancer, try Feisanna. They ALWAYS have music in the vendors.

What are some groups that play traditional Irish music on the electric guitar? The more popular, the better.
I’m looking for people who would be good for an "Irish Guitar Hero", if it existed. Stuff like Thin Lizzy’s "Whiskey In The Jar" and the Young Dubliners’ "Weila Waile."
i’d say dropkick murphy’s, even though it’s more of a punk/irish fusion. also look at the pogues. also, if you’re doing irish GH, might as well have regular rock n’ roll from ireland, like U2 and the Answer.
i dont no how to describe it its like irish dancing music playing along with a beat and its been played over summer on radio one alot
Hi, It could be Galway Girl, have a look on You Tube.
I’d appreciate if you could explain without getting overly technical. Thanks!
A jig is compound time 6/8 which means there are 6 quaver beats in each bar "trip-e-let trip-e-let" a quaver is half a beat, the emphasis is on the "trip" this is when you tap your foot.
A reel is 4/4 time which means there are 4 crotchet beats in each bar "Black-and-decker black-and-decker" a crotchet is one beat. The emphasis is on the "black". Reels are faster and more intense to play.
