MUSIC
	The Chieftains : The Authorized Biography Learn about how the Chieftains came into being and discover a wealth of knowledge about traditional Irish music. Before I read this book I liked the sound, but I didn't know too much about where it had come from. Now, through the insights of John Glatt, I have come to appreciate it at a much higher level. Buy it now!
	The Companion to Irish Traditional Music The Companion to Irish Traditional Music represents a landmark in the study of one of the Western world's most universally recognisable forms of cultural expression. This ambitious volume comes at a time when Irish music and culture is experiencing a genuine renaissance, as evidenced by the popularity of such phenomena as Riverdance. Buy it now!
LITERATURE
	Ulysses (Modern Library Series) To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful and even suspenseful. Even the verbal vaudeville of the final chapters can be navigated with relative ease, as long as you're willing to be buffeted, challenged, and vexed by Joyce's sheer command of the English language. Buy it now!
	Penguin Book of Irish Fiction Literary brilliance is one of the most enduring and cherished of Irish stereotype and as much a part of the national landscape as pubs and bad weather but Toibin manages to keep the beer from turning green in his judicious and very comprehensive selection that encompasses more than a hundred authors from the 17th century to the present. Buy it now!
