The first time I heard Irish music way back in my teenage years I was fascinated by it. The mix between very melancholic love songs and the often very funny ones about drinking.
when I was twenty I left Switzerland for Ireland to learn English. I know an odd choice to learn English. Back then I was a Volunteer in a Christian Center in Rostrever. I had a great time there and learned many things besides English. I visited my first Ceilidh and danced to Irish music. I loved Ireland and traveled to the Island several times. The last time I was there was on our honeymoon. A long time ago.
The last view years some people met in a pub ones a month to play Irish and other folk music. It all started as far as I remember with an invitation to a St. Patricks day night at the English pub. We would occasionally come to play around a table in the pub playing together. Later we got more serious (just enough to have a practice session once in a while) The last year we played at the UN Irish Pub the last Friday in the month and I really enjoy these times.
