Irish music transcends all national boundaries and yet expresses intensely the spirit of the place that longing of all exiles for their home country For the story of Irish music is also the story of centurieslong emigration to especially America and England With a blend of social history interviews with musicians and analysis of technique this book attempts to chart some of those journeys to visit some of the places reached the Appalachians Chicago New York London and to provide an account of how Irish music eventually wound its way back home again enriched reinvigorated and changed Way back Irish traditional music belonged to remote rural communities the hauntingly beautiful sean nos unaccompanied songs sung in Irish the ballads the jigs reels slides and polkas taught by itinerant dancing masters But it was in America that Irish music reinvented itself to meet the musical needs of the New World and 20thcentury technology also sent it off in new directions to meld with rock country pop electric folk blues and the avantgarde This book chronicles those transformations from the Clancy Brothers and Bob Dylan Planxty and Clannad to the Pogues Van Morrison U2 Sinead OConnor and Christy Moore and to John Cages Roaratorio It aims to show too how modern music has been alchemized by the use of traditional Irish techniques and instruments like the bodhran the harp and the uilleann pipes to form that unique sound that is so unmistakably Irish The book ties in with a BBC2 television series in March and April 1991
