I’m Scottish and Ireland objectively has better folk music with lyrics. Can’t beat a good Irish folk song.
We’re better at instrumental folk though.
>8 cans of tennants down your neck blasting this out with the boys
Too much strife
Start naming some good Irish acts then
Maybe folk music but Scotland has a ton more classic bands
shouldn't that give them something to sing about
How can you list Camera Obscura without listing Belle and Sebastian?
They did. That awful song by the The Cranberries.

Alan McGee was from Glasgow so really you could argue that all of Creation's output was the work of one based Scotsman
MBV
cranberries if you like them
the frames/glen hansard before he got corny
a couple more sundays-lite sorta irish bands from then have some good albums.
Dick Green kept the label going while McGee was coked out of his skull
My favourite Scottish song right now, I’m learning it for a folk club I play at.
Spot the proddie
Can’t believe everybody forgot Bert Jansch. And Ireland is better because that’s where I’m from

Irish rebel music is unironically great

Indeed. I love a bit of Dubliners and Clancy Brothers, very powerful music.

Luke Kelly doing Parcel of Rogues is a nice blend of Scottish and Irish
Forget what I said about B&S I’m clearly blind

I'd love to get the train up from Yorkshire and see him playing in a tiny venue in the Highlands
Gerry Rafferty and Stealers Wheel.
Baker Street has to be one of the best songs of all time.
