From the Publisher
There’s nothing quite like hearing Irish music in Ireland. Not in concert halls or popular tourist taverns, but in the small pubs in remote areas where the locals gravitate for those informal sessions known as the Craic. Here, Colin Irwin undertakes a long journey into Ireland’s musical soul. He dances at the Fleadh in Listowl; chats with Bono, Sinead O’Connor, and Christy Moore; visits the spa town were farmers come searching for wives; and drinks hot toddies with the legendary Keane sisters of Galway. In Search of the Craic is a glorified pub crawl, a night out that has lasted centuries, and comes with all the color, humor, drama, and pathos you’d expect from a country of drinkers, dancers, and musicians. Colin Irwin, author of The Abba Story, also writes for MELODY MAKER, THE GUARDIAN, and THE SUNDAY TIMES.
