Irish Folk Songs that would sound great as Rock

Hey Cred Forums,

I've been really into Celtic Rock recently, so I've decided to take some old Scottish/Irish folk songs and turn the melodies into riffs; I just finished "Red is the Rose", and it came out pretty well. Anyone know any other good folk songs?

>"""Irish""" folk music.

They just took credit for English and Scottish folk music.

Yeah, and Led Zepplin stole from the blues.

Yes they did, whats your point?

>The jig (Irish: port) is a form of lively folk dance in compound meter, as well as the accompanying dance tune. It developed in 16th-century England,

>he hornpipe is any of several dance forms played and danced in Britain and Ireland and elsewhere from the 16th century until the present day. The earliest references to hornpipes are from England with Hugh Aston's Hornepype of 1522 and the others refer to Lancashire hornpipes in 1609 and 1613.[1]

They get the credit because folk music survives in rural communities and Ireland was late to industrialization.

It doesn't matter who made what as long as it sounds good.

Hope you enjoy this senpai

>One thing their nation has to be proud of is actually English
The Irish rebellion was actually English?

Hmm

Well they did crush it.

Someone should've told the Republic of Ireland.

Didn't know which rebellion you were referring to. They've had a lot and most ended the same way. Seemed a safe bet to assume Ireland lost.

celtic rock is dumb and americans are appropriating irish culture

>Didn't know which rebellion you were referring to
And yet you chose to embarrass yourself anyway. Odd.

Does someone happen to know what the original traditional song 'i'm shipping up to boston' is based on? I just can't remember it anymore and google isn't any help

What the fuck is that?

Real talk:

Dubliners, Planxty, Corries, Ewan Macoll, North Sea Gas and Silly Wizard

Nice digits but if someone's entire family is from Ireland and their parents are immigrants are they appropriating Irish culture I want to know if I'm oppressed are not

the battering ram

Um, that would be their cultural heritage sooooo no?

Woody Guthrie?

He's talking about the little instrumental part before the song really kicks in. I recognise it but I can't get the name.
