Although I listen rock, gothic and pop music, I like folk a lot. I am a singer and I've been singing irish songs lately with my semi-acoustic guitar. It's good to voice, because songs are not always easy to sing, for example songs 'the black is the colour' and 'the lily of the west' are very beautiful songs!

you have to love irish music some of the greatest songs are irish and ,its our own culture thank god we have a culture unlike some other coutries around the world

My favorite kind of music is Irish - not sure it's what the original poster here would call 'traditional' though.
Mary Black, De Dannen, Planxty, Christy Moore, Luca Bloom....I've got an old tape that was me dad's from the 1960's of Irish Freedom Fighters (that's what is says on the tape - a homemade copy) (kevin barry, off to dublin in the green in the green etc.). Apparently its illegal now.
Love 'em all I do.
We all sang "I'll take you home again Kathleen" at my auntie kathleen's funeral. Was lovely. (though I know it wasnt really Irish at all, but from america?).
Anyone else out there like Irish music?

I like this stuff as opposed to this stuff

Noting like a lockin with a good session group, not that i can part take or anything but its great craic.

Cant find a good version but rattling bog and that kind of stuff is great
This is good too

Years ago there was a pub in Truro (cornwall) guys would bring guitars, bodrins (is that the name? like a drum top and a two-ended stick?) etc. and I loved listening to them 'jam'.
I forgot to mention I also love the chieftains, though my fave cd is with Van morrison! ("chieftains in china" is wicked too).
But yeah, real traditional stuff is great - when I was a teenager me dad used to take us over to ireland (around dublin and kells) to visit relatives and we'd all get a go with making music - or rather making a racket I should think anyone listening!
