La Féile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!
In celebration of St Patrick’s Day (March 17th) our very own Irishman Sean McKenna presents a selection of contemporary Irish music.
The ideal soundtrack to banishing snakes and economic meltdowns.
Unlikely to feature U2, the Corrs, the Cranberries, Westlife or Ronan Keating.
