About this ebook

Country music fandom is at an all-time high in Ireland; social dancing has never been as popular. New artists, bands

and
venues proliferate; it seems each week 'Ireland's latest country sensation' is brought to the public's attention through the ever-widening media outlets populated by the genre. This book provides a comprehensive history of the genre looking at the artists and their music and seeking to

contextualise
the genre within the wider context of Irish culture. It demonstrates the significant role Ireland has played in the history and development of American country music and how, as an old classic country song says, the circle has remained unbroken. It also analyses the associated media, dance and social cultures. Irish country music is now a significant industry on a continuous upward curve. It earns a lot of money for a lot of people. It deserves a work of record. 


This book is the first of its kind. It is written in an easy to understand

language
to appeal to the widest possible demographic. It is also written from a neutral point of view but in a way that appeals to the fans of country and Irish music. 


Artists covered include Big Tom, Daniel O'Donnell, Nathan Carter, Philomena Begley, Susan McCann and Robert Mizell. 


The author is an established writer with extensive media experience including RTÉ Radio 1, TV3,
Irish Independent, 
The Irish Times,
New York Times,
The Irish Post and a plethora of local and regional radio stations.
