I know the contemporary history. You notice that there is a change of attitude, even with the younger people in Ireland. When Riverdance started, or when Phillip King did ' with Bringing it all Back Home. That brought out the history of the music, and what Irish people had achieved abroad and suddenly the world became smaller. I think since then people are more interested in listening to different types of Irish music and other music styles as well.
People are much more open now.
The songs now, as well, are coming away from themes of the troubles. What we'ee talking about now in songs, and what the writers are doing is saying, they look, either keep it or give it away. Do what you like with it, but don't be killing people in the process. It's not the people who are at fault here. It's the authorities.
