Irish music has always held its own on the global stage – whether that’s U2 and Sinead O’Connor breaking America, My Bloody Valentine and The Cranberries heaping angst on your record collection, pop groups like Westlife, Boyzone and B*Witched breaking records on the charts, or The Dubliners, The Pogues and The Chieftans producing timeless traditional music.
