warsawstory Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Going the Irish/Irish-American rock route for one season isn't going to hurt. I think a book like the following might be a selling point for kids in their late teens, early 20's. The Dropkick Murphys - "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" from the "Departed" soundtrack "The Warrior's Code" "The State of Massachusetts" "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya" The Screaming Orphans - "Finnegan's Wake" ...and start the flaming "Danny Boy" The subtle Celtic Thunder arrangement. I always thought the power of that piece was in the phrasing and control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music For A Found Harmonium You really need to see a hot band, like Patrick Street or my local Celtic group Silver Arm. performing this live to get a feel for it. Preferably with glasses rapping out the offbeats on tabletops and suitable whoops from the crowd. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 And for those of us from back in the '80s, how about the music of The Pogues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
