Episode 5: Made in Ireland
September 2021
In October 2020 Routledge published, Made in Ireland: Studies in Popular Music, this is part of Routledge’s global popular music series which, as they put it, is ‘devoted to popular music largely unknown to Anglo-American readers’. This collection of essays, through a wide range of historical and critical vantage points, explores popular music on the island of Ireland. Made in Ireland is edited by Áine Mangaoang, John O’Flynn and Lonán Ó Briain and in this episode Lines on Music speaks to Áine and John about the collection and about the process of putting it together. We also discuss several of the chapters, we speak about Áine and John’s contributions to the collection and about some possible future trajectories of research on Irish popular music. !is episode is part one of two.
In the following episode we speak to Tríona Ní Shíocháin about her contribution to the collection, “!e Politics of Sound: Modernity and Post-Colonial Identity in Irish-Language Popular Song”, so stay tuned for that.
