if anyone likes traditional Irish music

check out Colm O'Donnell, "Farewell to Evening Dances", some of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear, one in particular made me totally lose control, "The Hill of Knocknashee"

it's really chill music

the best song ever played on the bagpipes

and lastly quite possibly my favourite song, if the lyrics in this song don't move you then in my opinion you have ice running through your veins not blood

have you heard Sgt. MacKenzie? one of your boys wrote it to commemorate his grandfather, who died in WWI protecting one of his men in the trenches

sadly he passed away recently, that is one stirring song, it's heavy on Scottish bagpipes, and they played it in the movie "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson

Two of my favorite Dallas R&R spots are Irish pubs....oh but you were talking music

My favorite song of all-time is Whiskey in the Jar by Tin Lizzy.

i think i'd only heard it in that film, incidentally a great film, before. its very haunting. while i love the pipes anyway its songs like this that i think bring the best out in them. just sounds so mournful on the bagpipes, its like the funeral scene at the start of braveheart when the villagers are paying tribute to wallaces dad "playing outlawed tunes on an outlawed instrument"
do you ever listen to music in gaelic, scots or irish?
