Reiseziel Irland Irland ist überall auf der Welt bekannt - ziemlich erstaunlich eigentlich für ein so kleines Land. Die grüne Insel wird in Hunderten von Liedern besungen: in den entlegensten Winkeln der Erde und von Menschen, deren Vorfahren in den Zeiten der Hungersnöte zu Millionen in die Fremde zogen; sie sind nie zurückgekehrt und haben Irland doch nie vergessen. Die Lieder berichten von einer regendurchtränkten grünen Landschaft, von der wildzerklüfteten Küste und dem stürmischen Meer. So was hört man gern, wenn man in einem gemütlichen Pub am warmen Torffeuer sitzt und den Gesprächen lauscht, während die Musik das Heulen des Sturms übertönt.
