A lot of Irish people perform. They perform in drawing rooms. They sing songs and they play piano.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know so many Irish musicians. They're all over, because there has been so much emigration from Ireland. Like the Jews.
I come from the tradition of a big Irish family that loves to sing. I love to perform.
I've been asked why does Ireland produce so many great musicians, and the answer is it doesn't. When you count the great musicians Ireland has given the world in the last 20 years, you can do it on one hand.
I have been interested in Irish traditional music for the past few years.
We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
Irish people are educated not only about artistry but local history.
Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.
I think women are in much the same place in the Irish theater as they are everywhere else. Certainly, we have wonderful Irish writers, and we have quite a number of Irish women directors. But there could be more, and there should be more.
Ireland and America, music-wise, are very closely related. The Irish came over with their fiddles in hand, and you can hear it in the bluegrass and rockabilly. I love it when music from different countries combine.
I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
