What is Traditional Irish singing?

Traditional Irish singing is a form of folk music that developed in Ireland. It is characterized by its use of traditional Irish musical instruments, such as the fiddle, tin whistle, and accordion, and by its use of traditional Irish musical forms, such as ballads and jigs. Irish singing has been influenced by both English and Scottish traditional music. In recent years, traditional Irish singing has been influenced by contemporary pop music.

Traditional Irish singing is usually performed solo, although it can also be performed in a group setting. When performed in a group setting, traditional Irish singing is often accompanied by instruments such as the guitar, piano, and bodhran. Traditional Irish singers often use their hands to clap or drum along with the music.

Irish singing is often used to communicate a message or story. In some cases, traditional Irish songs are used to teach children about their heritage and culture. Traditional Irish songs are also often used to celebrate special occasions, such as weddings and funerals.
