Hey, don't get into that one! Don't be a folk snob! It's the principle of what an *Irish Tenor* is - and despite your protestations Daniel has recorded and popularised folk music as well as country and mor. That is irrelevant. He fits in this discussion as validly as talking about John McCormick It is whether wiki were right in listing him as an *Irish Tenor*. I thought that term applied to semi-classical vocalists with a certain intonation. Musical scholars are the ones who may know this stuff. I am now thinking that many people I thought of as *Scottish and Irish tenors* may actually be classified by voice as 'baritone'. In recent years after the success of the classical 'Three Tenors', it became a marketing device for record companies and stage performers.
