Bodhran -
The hand-held Irish drum
of stretched goatskin on wood. Its beat both leads and echoes in the music
like Irish rain, sometimes softly and sometimes like thunder. |
 |
Fiddle -
The fiddle along with the whistle is traditionally the buskers favourite instrument. Its jigs
and reels can have the magical power to make you dance or cry. |

When Irish Eyes are
Smiling
Probably one of the most famous of Irish
songs depicted here in a beautiful Sterling Silver pendant with
the notes of the words engraved on it.
"When Irish eyes are
smiling,
sure tis like a morn in Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
you can hear the angels sing"
Written for a production called "The
Isle o' Dreams" and published in 1912 |
