Welcome to Enjoy Irish Culture!

On this website we hope to make you as excited about everything that is Irish culture as we are.

We live in the West of Ireland, in Galway, near the Atlantic. We have explored Ireland inside out over the years and as an artist couple who paint Irish landscapes, we have a strong interest in Irish culture past and present. We want to share with you some of those things we love.

Irelands' culture has spread around the globe.

Irish music, for example, is being played today in places as far away from Ireland as Tokyo and Berlin! And most cities around the world will have an Irish pub. We hope to inspire your interest in the whole of Irish culture such as music and dance, heritage sites, Irish castles, Irish history, Irish folklore and a whole lot more!

Our culture is very rich both in the traditional, as well as in the modern, in the present day.

For example, you will find a section on Irish traditional music that will show you just how alive Ireland is with traditional music, even in this day and age.

And on the other end of the spectrum, we are planning to talk about some of the greats among Irish bands today as well as up and coming ones and show you how the strong folk tradition in this country has shaped some of the strongest musical talent anywhere. And that’s just the music section!

Other sections we are planning on Ireland Culture topics as this website grows:

• Irish music and Irish dancing
• Irish singers and Irish bands
• Ireland's Culture including films and literature
• Irish history
• Irish food and Irish Cooking
• Irish boats (like the Galway Hookers shown above in a traditional boat race)
  
• Irish traditions and Irish customs
• Irish castles
  
• Amazing Irish landscapes
  
• Facts about Ireland today
• Ireland tourism guide with tips about some very special places and things to do
  
• Fishing in Ireland
• Irish jewellery such as the world famous Claddagh ring
• Also planned: Irish baby names, Irish surnames and Irish coat of arms

We hope to bring you the very best of Irish culture, our own personal favourites that we love.
