Irish Folk

[WirSindBettler]

Does any one here listen to any Irish Folk? Probably my favorite genre of music.

If any one wants to post some, I'll be continually posting, because, why not?

I'll start with the Dubliners:

This is a medly of tune clips from my favorite Irish band: Kennedy's Kitchen.

John Kennedy (who is pictured well singing "Patrick Coyle" at 3:50 is a friend of mine and he produced (along with his recording engineer) my own CD.

The earlier version of this band was called Seamaisin and was mostly from Notre Dame univ. staff.

One question. How are you defining Irish Folk?

Turns out the song I was thinking of fails in any case. It would be Scottish Folk, if you would count it at all.

What I'm asking is does folk produced by an Irishman count even if it has no distinctive Irish flavor.

Just for the record the song I was Thinking of is 'The Sun is Burning" written by Ian Campbell and performed by The Ian Campbell Group and later covered by Simon and Garfunkel. A very pretty some with some very nasty words.

Hmm it seems early on he was in a skiffle group that performed Fenian songs. Would those count as Irish Folk?
