From rkm 07/05/2018 12:36 in Any good Irish bands with traditional folk elements?
“You asked for bands, but these are some of my favorite singer/songwriter artists from Ireland of recent years. This album was from last year, and is Irish in sound and theme... An earlier album I like... This artist is Irish, but his sound crosses over into Americana”
