Ireland

Music

Introduction

Something’s cooking in Patsy’s kitchen – and it’s not food! Clare man Blackie joins the Doolin local and his friends for song and dance and a bit of craic! It’s open house, and everybody’s welcome. Ciara and Ricky hit the heights of Belfast’s thriving music scene at Spring and Airbrake (and Ricky’s part of the talent)! Mick’s local pub in Kilkenny, meanwhile, hosts a traditional session that gets toes tapping and hands clapping well into the night. Sure, we’ve got U2, Snow Patrol, Enya and The Corrs, but listen out for the melodic sounds of the Uileann Pipes, Lambeg Drum, bodhrán, fiddle and flute on the island of Ireland, too...
