Background: Somewhat defiant of precise definition, the term ‘Irish Song’ is a broad church. The advent of the gramophone at the turn of the nineteenth century added a further dimension to the tradition and since then Irish song has provided a significant money-spinner to the record companies, particularly in the USA where a captive second - and third, fourth and fifth - generation immigrant Irish audience has remained avid for nostalgic reminders, however dim, of the 'Ould Country'.
