    I'm Korean. I loved travelling Ireland and Northern Ireland twenty five years ago when I visited my Irish friend. I really enjoy listening to Irish songs and drinking Irish beers, and hope to visit the lovely country in the near future.

    I loved visiting Ireland in 2008 for 10 days in July. We traveled SW COAST AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE!
    We saw beautiful castles, churches, old ruins, cemeteries, fields, and lakes and wished we could stay longer. The people are so friendly and we stayed in Bed and Breakfast homes with such wonderful people...will never forget!!
    Thank you so much for your Ballads.
    I have always loved Irish music and love listening to the different styles...Ballads, Flute, Harp Doolaman and Celtic pieces.

    So many songs I have heard performed by the Irish Rovers, the Clancy Brothers, the Dubliners, and others. I can't help noticing the absence of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling which is also absent from all the collections I have bookmarked and wonder why everyone seems to hate the song. I had to bookmark the song itself in order to listen to it whenever I felt like it.
