Traditional Irish Song And The Oral Tradition

Irish traditional song lyrics and music chronicle the lives and experience of the Irish people from the earliest times. Many of the Irish songs still sung today come from a far older lineage; their tunes and words passed from one generation to the next in the oral tradition. Of course, over time there are bound to have been many original songs that were lost but thankfully, with the use of modern recording equipment, we have secured a vast and rich Irish musical heritage for all generations to come…but that is not all.

Trad Irish Songs On The World Stage

The tradition of Irish music continues and grows not only in Ireland but also across the world where our people have settled. For a culture to remain strong, for a heritage to live, its people’s music, art and poetry must continue to develop. Thanks to those talented sons and daughters of the Gael who bring the Irish sound to both the local and world stage, that heritage is secure and its future secure.
