My sister forwarded me this today, and holy shit is it wild. My family are up north, and it's pretty widely known who she is (And the pub picture is being circulated as well), but if you haven't heard this story, strap yourself in.
These two episodes shook folks in Ireland in 2022, and they just came out with part 3 today. Worth a listen.

I hadn't been aware that Irish folk music had ever seen a particular period of decline. Maybe it depends on if you classify the likes of the Pogues, the Saw Doctors or the 2 Johnnies as 'folk'.
