Irish Folk Music - The History and Origins


It's St. Patrick's day...a time to drink green beer, dance, and listen to Irish folk music classics!

For starters, did you know Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann (the Music Festival of Ireland), is the world’s biggest traditional Irish music celebration? It still sees over 400,000 attendees each year with dozens of nationalities arriving in Ireland to celebrate our 2,000 year old traditions!
