Writer, DJ and music blogger Nialler9 asked YOU: What song best represents Modern Ireland to you? What current singer/musician has a strong Irish identity you’d like to share with the globe?
AND if you were sending a song out to the rest of the world and saying – “Listen to this not only is it Irish but it is awesome,” what would one track send?
You responded in your dozens.
Behold: Modern Green:

So here it is. I couldn’t restrict the playlist to just 25 so I let the playlist run wild to include 80 Irish songs made in the last 5 years totalling just over 5 hours of music to answer those questions.
FIGHT!

The Stone Twins (Amsterdam based Dublin creatives) have created their own St Patrick’s Day parade of some usual suspects….
…and parades, marching bands, green rivers and global random surveillance invitations to the White House.
NSA agents The press team at The American Embassy, Ballsbridge, Dublin inform Dubliners of the USA’s pivotal role in Ireland’s national holiday.
Fight!
Thanks Diarmaid Keane

Penneys are selling these for Paddy’s Day. Some of your readers might fancy the LepreHo look this year. For only €13 you can look more Irish than Peig or Lady Lavery…

With St. Patrick’s Day looming, in my studio anyways, my Handmade Shamrock Brooches are an elegant touch compared to the usual plastic you see on Paddies Day. Hand wrapped copper wire for the stem gives a nice shine to it. Handy to send around the globe too! You can buy them online from my Etsy shop here for $6.50.
