Celtic Pick 2 (Irish music for St. Patrick's Day)

More Irish music for you to enjoy this St. Patrick's Day. If you're lucky there will be even more tomorrow. This continues this playlist pick. Most of it is Irish bands, a couple of songs about Ireland (or associated Irish events). You can't really call Johnny Cash Irish now can you? But his pick in here is perfect for St Patrick's Day. There's a couple of doubles in these two volumes, but only because I had to. They just fit in perfectly. Either way, drink a good Irish beer, make sure it's not got green dye in it and walk home or take Lyft.

Celtic Pick (Irish music for St. Patrick's Day)

To get you thinking of St. Patrick's Day here is my pick of Irish bands and the songs I like. No Beer songs here (see my connections Beer volume 1 & Beer volume 2 for those). Although St. Patrick's day is really an American holiday Irish decided long ago to celebrate with us (and not complain about appropriation.) Just do everyone a favor and drink some good Irish beer preferably not colored green. One of my favorite Irish bands (although they are technically Irish-American) is Gaelic Storm. One of the best bands to see live. I highly recommend them. Their song on this playlist is just a small example of how great they are. Not that the others are slouches, either. All very cool. I love how Bing Crosby fits in right next to Snow Patrol. Tomorrow, if you're lucky, you'll get more Irish related stuff.
