Irish Music
2011-05-09 @ 19:45:25
Ireland's majority genre is rock and pop and Ireland can today be counted to one of many worldleaders of producing it. Famous bands and artists from Ireland are for example U2, Van Morrison, Enya, Sinead O'Connor, Westlife, The Undertones and The cranberries among others.
Even though rock and pop are taking over more and more, 20% of the Irish people still votes for the Irish folk music. Irish folk music are still preformed but the lyrics are often translated from the traditional Gaelic language to English so more people can understand it. Focus is often kept on the simpel melody.
Saint Patrick's Day
2011-05-09 @ 16:03:31
Saint Patrick's Day is a christian holiday celebrated widly and not only by the Irish on 17 March. It has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks, leprechauns, luck and alcohol. All summed up; St. Patricks Day is a happy feast with music, laughter and most common parades.
But who was Saint Patrick?
But who was Saint Patrick?
St. Patrick lived from about (many different opinions about this one..) 390 AD. to 461 AD. He is known as the man bringing christianity to Ireland, saving the Irish nation from paganism and driving all the snakes out (according to legend). It is true that Ireland don't have snakes, but now we know Ireland probably never had snakes to begin with, but many people still belive it was thanks to St. Patrick.
Irish Stereotypes

The most common thoughts of Irish people are drunk, redheaded, freckled, fighting, greenwearing, bearded and potato-loving men.
Although the Irish people love their beer and drink in average 131,1 liters every year all sayings are not true..
..Or are they..?
