What do Irish people, especially traditional musicians, think of American bluegrass music?

They're related genres, and bluegrass evolved from Irish music, but I'm wondering if this style of music is in any way admired by Irish musicians?

Advice Needed: Irish couple on American road trip

Yo Everyone,

My girlfriend and myself (both 29 from Dublin), have been looking into taking career breaks and heading on a once in a life time trip to the US. Most Irish tourists to the US visit the usual spots - NY, LA, Vegas etc. The trip we're planning covers Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and finishing in California. This wouldn't start until August, but we're getting ahead in terms of planning!

The whole trip will take around 4-5 months, ending with a month visiting my brother in California. Were currently looking into the campervan / RV we'll need for the trip. We wouldn't need a large Class A or B RV, but more a smaller camper van.

We were looking into buying initially, but the outlay of $50k odd isn't really an option.

Rental options we've seen:

https://www.escapecampervans.com/ seem like good options for rental. Can leave the van back in a different location which means we don't need to double back on ourselves, save money on flights

I also looked into Outdoorsy, but once you add in their mandatory insurance, the price skyrockets.

Are there any website, or business recommendations you'd have for campervan / RV rental? And also any other advice and recommendations you might have.

Any advice is greatly appreciated from two novices!

Thanks,
OisΓ­n

Early 20th-century American popular music seems fascinated with the Irish. Is this a consequence of the immigrations or an illusion?

Songs like Peg O’ My Heart, My Wild Irish Rose, and It’s a long way to Tipperary were staples of American popular music into the 1930s and have never entirely left. There seems to have a fetishization of the Irish.

I know it may have been a result of the large-scale immigration, but given how much anti-Irish sentiment there was, that doesn’t seem certain. Though, perhaps it was like jazz, where the music was welcomed, but not the people (especially the women, a la The Yellow Rose of Texas).

On the other hand, it occurs to me that it may have been the Irish-Americans themselves putting these songs on the charts out of homesickness, spurred by the Protestant persecution.

A third possibility also presents itself; that these songs seem more important than they were in retrospect. Later generations could have skewed my perception of the musical landscape of the time by giving these songs a greater legacy; the way Italian-Americans skewed the importance of Christopher Columbus in American history.

Can anyone shed a stronger light on this?

[Sampson] A source told The Athletic that All-American safety Kyle Hamilton is trending toward playing for the Irish again, if the program makes the College Football Playoff. Interested to see if that would change Notre Dame's profile with the committee. Positive news, regardless.

This would be a good counter for the Irish to the committee if they are saying that losing BK is a minus this would be a huge (bigger) plus. https://mobile.twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1466540213702778884

Question about Irish music tastes from an American

Morning, r/Ireland, last night I was listening to some music from an Irish folk artist (beautiful music, Andy Irvine if you're curious), and just couldn't shake the question of "would your average person from Ireland listen to this sort of stuff?"

Basically, is folk music relevant/popular to modern Irishmen, and if so to what degree? Do you guys regularly listen to contemporary folk artists, and how well do you know the "standards" of your country?

In my part of the US of A, you'd probably expect most people to know the chorus of songs like "This Land is Your Land" or "Dixie", but not much more in the way of folk. Is it a similar case with, say, "The Foggy Dew", and drinking songs that have become popular elsewhere like "Whiskey in the Jar"?

Something I've learned dating in America as a European: When someone tells you they are 'Italian', 'Irish', 'German', etc., chances are they aren't actually Italian, Irish, or German...they're American.

This confused me so many times for a solid few years (still does). "Oh you're from Europe? That's cool, I'm Irish." - no you are not.

This is one of many funny things I run into. Thought I'd share. Also, I really don't understand this! Why do many people seem to identify as European when they are American? I see it in many OLD bios, so people must feel it is important to advertise as well.

Unless you have a grandparent from a foreign country, you're just an American. You're not irish/italian/French or anything.

I think we need to cut this off at the grandparent level. I could make an argument that I'm italian/dutch/german/swiss/english/Irish if I went back far enough. Truth is, I'm American. I had some great grandparents I never met that were from Italy, but that doesn't make me italian. This is a stupid American thing that needs to stop.

Update: I'm happy this was truly an unpopular opinion unlike 99% of the stupid shit posted here. I will keep this opinion forever since no one changed my mind.

Americans with Slavic ancestry, do you have any connection to your heritage (the way the Irish Americans are stereotyped as having)?

Obviously Slavic cultures are pretty obscure to most Americans, who mainly associate Slavs with Russians or the USSR, which makes the whole thing even more interesting to me. But in reality, I've noticed that people with Slavic last names aren't actually associated with anything specific, and sort of blend in like the Scots-Irish for example. Think people like John Kasich or even fictional characters like Mark Brendanawicz. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
