Bringing It All Back Home The Influence of Irish Music at Home and Overseas

Blending social history, interviews with major Irish musicians, & analysis of musical techniques, this book tells how Irish music emigrated to America & England & eventually wound its way back to the Emerald Isle--enriched & reinvigorated. Years ago, Irish traditional music was created & heard in the remote rural communities, but it was in America that Irish music reinvented itself. Twentieth-century technology sent it off in many exciting directions to meld with rock, country, pop, electric folk, blues, & the avant-garde. This absorbing book chronicles those transformations--from the Clancy Brothers, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Planxty, & Clannad, to the Pogues, U2, & Sinead O'Connor.O'Connor, Nuala is the author of 'Bringing It All Back Home The Influence of Irish Music at Home and Overseas' with ISBN 9781903582039 and ISBN 1903582032.
