Traditional music i've always had a interest in, despite no knowing one end of a flute to the next.
In my taxi i've hooked up my I-pod to the head unit so there's about 7,000 songs on tap, some muppet was adamant last night that Kelly The Boy From Killane is trad song, i argued the point that it was republican music NOT trad.
I'd put Jigs and Reels in the catagory of trad;

Or on the other hand we've purely IRA anthems that some ill informed muppets class as trad.
I love the Wolfetones but i would never class them as trad

ReplyDeleteSometimes, if the customer is dead cert kosher, I let them pick up my iPod and choose the music. Works on many levels, keeps them occupied(ie. not talking nonsense) and they're happy with the music choice (theirs) = a euro or two tip! It's weird most people go for the same stuff, all the power ballads, go Meatloaf and Guns N Roses, lol!
