Irish music reviews by Paul Carr, Irish Herald
Paul fell in love with Irish
traditional music when first he heard it on the Thistle and Shamrock
radio show in the mid-1990s. He
began buying CDs that he heard on that show. Later, Paul began using the
Internet to listen to Raidio na Gaeltachta, RTÉ, and Raidio Uladh,
where he found shows in Irish and English. Paul subscribes to Irish
Music Magazine, currently the best magazine for traditional Irish music
and song. You can read all of his reviews here: https://home.comcast.net/~eile/
