CELTIC INTERVIEWS: DUBLIN HARPERS
I confess, the Irish harp is not usually my favorite instrument when it comes to Irish music. It’s beautiful, but I like more upbeat music. Dublin Harpers changed my impression with what can be done with the harp. They play upbeat Celtic tunes that rock. Plus, their whole family gets involved as you’ll hear about in episode #3 of Celtic Interviews.
Listen to the Dublin Harpers in the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.
