Sinead O´Conor is an Irish songwriter, known for her quality as an artist, her beauty, her controversy declaration and her extravagance on stage.
She had some family problems. First she was member of a band that she left when her mother died. She was pregnant when she was twenty years old. Her first album “The Lion and The Cobra” didn´t get fame although it had quality,. In this album you have “Troy”, a song that reflected the relationship with her mother. The true fame arrived in 1989 with “Nothing Compares 2U”, although this song is a song that was written by Prince, but she gave her tone. She refused some nomination and a Grammy because she said that the prize was for the sales and not for the quality of the music. In 1990 she was in the concert “The Wall”, one of the bests concerts of the history. After she tried other styles as jazz and traditional Irish music, but she returned to her style. At present she was recording an album with Marco Pirroni.

Hi you there.
In this page we’re going to deal with music related to Ireland.
We have chosen some emblematic bands and singers and they are ordered chronologically.
But first of all, let’s start with a small introduction.
Irish Music is the generic term for music that has been created in various genres on the island of Ireland.
The indigenous music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th, and into the 21st century, despite globalizing cultural forces. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects and has itself influenced many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music. It has occasionally been fused with rock and roll, punk rock and other genres.
