    I like it because I think the soundtrack has got a lot of rhythm and the lyrics has got a wise message.

    Although I like Irish music, in my opinion it is a bit monotonous as well as old-fashioned.

    I know some Irish groups such as Enya and U2 which I like more, because they sound more modern.

  2. In my opinion, it's a good song - even if it is a little bit old. I mean, the sound, voice and rhythm are good.

    I'm not really into Irish music to be honest, but I don't dislike it. Not bad, but as Andrea said, it has a lot of repetitions.

    I don't know more Irish groups, I heard about U2 a lot, but I think I have never heard a song, and if I did, I don't remember it.

  4. I have enjoyed the song , it has lot of rhythm and I like music played by Irish groups . For example groups like U2 and the Water Boys .

    I think the song sounds a bit ancient due to the instruments and the lyrics , but I think it's a cool song .

  5. I really liked this rhythm though at first I was not convinced. I never listened an Irish group and I liked the message. I think we must listen more music in class

  6. I like this song because, like everybody, I think that the soundtrack has a lot of rithm and also I think the refrain is very sticky.

    I totaly disagree with Andrea because Irish music is not "old fashioned", Irish music is clasic.

    I know other Irish groups like Rapalje. Here I put the same song (Raggle Taggle Gypsy):

  7. Good version of the song. I had never heard about this band, I've had a look at their website and it's interesting. I encourage all of you to have a look at it too.

  8. I like this song, because it sounds happy and amusing.

    It has alo of rhythm, but I agree with my classmates that the song seems old.

    I'm also into Irish groups like Enya and U2.

  9. I like this song because the music is amusing, it has got a lot of rhythm.

    I think that the Irish music is good but I like others types of music because this songs are old.

    I know some Irish groups like The Corrs, Enya and U2 because I have listened and I have worked this in class.

  10. Hello, I'm Nico.

    I love Irish music, is one of my favourite kind of music. I also love folk music so I can't say anything bad to Irish music.

    One of my favourite Irish song is "The Lord of the Dance", a song that I played with violin with a very big orchestra and it was amazing. It hasn't got any lyrics but music is very good. A very important dancer called Michael Flatley, did a show around the world and a lot of peolpe watched it.

    I know other Irish groups like U2 or ENYA.

    Thanks and have a good week :)

  11. I really like this version because is more danceable and in my opinion it likes to young people. The song lyrics is amazing too, but I would like to listen something else in it.
    I've never heard other Irish group because I don't actually like this kind of music, but this is definitely an awesome track.

  14. I have to admit it, I love Irish music, since always actually, but before I didn’t know that this style was Irish music. Perhaps I am the only one to say this on the blog but I love Irish music, sometimes more than my big passions. Although I love Irish music I don’t know any singers or groups that play this type of music.
