    I'm a fan of Scottish and Irish folk music myself.

    Here's a rather beautiful harmonic version of Galway Bay by some young Irish ladies.

    I like folk music because it usually has a story to tell that most will not listen to otherwise.

    That is one of the prettiest versions of Galway Bay I have heard. Thanks for posting it.

    He certainly did for Dublin; he always sounded as if he'd just had a few pints of Guinness and several packs of fags (cigarettes).

    I mean that as someone who likes his voice.

    Another great Irish folk band was Planxty, with the brilliant uileann pipe playing of Liam o'Flynn :
