Modern Green – A modern Irish playlist for St. Patrick’s Day
For the most up to date Irish music playlist, head to the new Irish music weekly.
Last year, you all helped me out with creating a modern Irish playlist for St. Patrick’s Day.
Like, our Paddy’s Day Unlocked event tomorrow in Meeting House Square, the playlist represents the truly current, the young musicians, the modern Irish musicians who are changing the perceptions of our country’s music at home and abroad.
Whether it’s Hozier, All Tvvins, James Vincent McMorrow, Lakker, Girl Band, SOAK or New Jackson, Irish music is about more than the diddly eye and Bono headlines exported around the world.
So, stick this playlist on, press shuffle and let it play. There’s over 100 songs and 7 hours of music here:
If you’re looking for something more mainstream, Spotify have created a playlist of the most popular Irish artists on the service.
