Music of Ireland Information and Guide
Ireland is internationally known for its folk music, which has remained a vibrant tradition throughout the 20th century, when many traditional forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music imported from the United Kingdom and United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects. It has occasionally also been modernized, however, and fused with rock and roll, punk rock and other genres. Some of these fusion artists have attained much mainstream success, at home and abroad, including Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison, The Pogues, The Chieftains, The Cranberries, Enya, Rory Gallagher and the Afro-Celt Sound System.

Irish Dance Information and Guide
Step dancing (sometimes referred to as "Irish dance") is a type of recreational and competitive folk dance that has been popularized by the world-famous "Riverdance" and "Lord of the Dance." Although it is most widespread in Ireland, it is also found in Scotland and the North of England (where it is better known as clog dancing). When performed as a solo dance, it is generally characterized by a stiff upper body and the quick and precise movements of the feet. Couples also dance with other couples, in a manner similar to a square dance; these dances are called "country sets" and are danced throughout Ireland with many regional variations. Larger groups of four, six, eight, or more people can dance traditional céilí dances, in which the steps are prescribed. Some of the ceili dances are named after the traditional Irish tunes to which they are danced; others can be done to any jig or reel. Visit this site to find out MORE...,
