Irish music is of increasing popularity in finland.
I think the people of Ireland and Finland are very much alike in many ways. Also the Finnish-Irish Society is a lively organization with members counted by the hundreds. It's the only city where you can find regular gigs. In other bigger towns, like Turku and Tampere, there is occasionally a chance to see Irish music live, but you'll have to be lucky enough to actually find it. Local newspapers are a good source of information.
