IRISH MUSIC

Irish music is popular worldwide.

Dancing music is great and people enjoy it in Irish pubs, where many bands play traditional music live. But there also exist sad songs and ballads which, sometimes, tell about those who had to leave their country or had to fight for peace in Ireland.

(Toss the feathers-traditional song performed by The Corrs)
