ok then... I'm not Irish.. I'm not particularly interested in Irish folk music.. I never go to clubs, or have any intention to start doing so...

I'm a 21st century musician who is more interested in arrangement of instrumental timbres than words;
and the international internet is my potential stage for expressing my 'art'...

This is the culture that I inhabit and will explore with my adaptions of our old songs....

So as much as I respect & thank the collectors and caretakers of trad heritage songs,
I must also acknowledge the significant differences of intent, opinion, and aesthetic diversity that arise,
and actively discover my own way in this post millenial creative technological era...

In other words... If I wanna make a bleedin uncouth racket, I'll turn me amp up, plug a direct feed into the internet and get on with it...

though obviously whilst wearing headphones, no need to annoy the neighbours.... 😎
