Irish folk
Emerald Isle tunes
Irish folk is a genre of traditional music from Ireland, characterized by fiddles, tin whistles, uilleann pipes, and acoustic guitars.
The music encompasses ballads, dance tunes like jigs and reels, and songs of rebellion, emigration, and love.
We listened to Irish folk in the pub.
The genre influenced and blended with rock and punk in bands like The Pogues.
