Some artists see folk as a place for protest and social criticism
of Ireland’s traditional music is fixed in the global imagination. You may have seen it play out in, an Oscar-nominated film: as locals quaff Guinness, beaming men and women play lightning-fast reels on fiddles and bodhráns in the firelit snug of a cosy pub. There is some truth to this image, says Charles Hendy, even though the easy-going boozy “session” is not a home-grown concept, but one that originated among Irish emigrants in England.
These artists offer something different stylistically: you won’t hear an acoustic guitar played the same way twice. They are, however, united by their Irishness and their love of the music. You can still hear those zippy reels, as well as laments and ballads which deal with the vicissitudes of life. Though Irish folk music has never disappeared, it has ebbed and flowed in the wider consciousness.
