A History of Irish Music: Bards to Bono; From the Druids to Stadiums with Playlist

What does it mean to carry a culture in song?From mythic bards and medieval harpers to rebellious ballads, bodhrán beats, and Beyoncé-backed fiddles, A History of Irish Music: Bardds to Bono tells the story of Irish music like never before. This sweeping, lyrical history explores how music shaped—and was shaped by—the Irish people across centuries of joy, sorrow, migration, resistance, and reinvention.Travel from candlelit sessions in County Clare to sold-out stadiums, from sean-nós singers to TikTok trad stars. Learn how the humble fiddle survived famine, how Riverdance took the world by storm, and how today’s genre-blending artists are reshaping tradition on their own terms.Whether you’re an aficionado of trad, a pub-session devotee, or someone who just gets goosebumps at the sound of a slow air, this book invites you to listen differently—to hear not just the tunes, but the truth they carry.Includes a curated playlist to accompany your journey through the music of Ireland.Read more
