As a present of wellcome I left you this present: A video of the mithic Irish group "The Dubliners", rediscovered by me in their recent play at Gran Teatro in Córdoba... I did enjoy their music in an ecstasy, as if I were in heaven, despite that in the Irish Heaven there's no beer (title of a popular song they sing: "In heaven there's no beer / that's why we drink it here"). If I have to choose a pair of my favourite songs, I'd say these: "A Spanish Lady" and "The Lord of the Dance"
After the concert, I discovered the lot of videos loged in You Tube from "The Dubliners" and I used them to motivate my pupils from 5th and 6th levels and they could sang a pair of most easy lyrics songs as "Molly Malone" or "The Wild Rover" (they ask me sometimes to replay them on You Tube again).
So I want to share my enthusiasm on Irish folk with you, because is a very close and easy resource you can use in your classes. I hang them on the left, only four, but there are many more at YT (I recommend "Wiskey In The Jar" and "I Wish I had Someone To Love Me" by the octogenarian Barney Mackenan, who could hardly raise to the scenary but whose fingers were literally invisible playing the banjo... Cheers!
