Is There a Renaissance of Irish Music?

There's irish music, song dance in every corner of the world these days. The harp has become very popular, and the banjo as well. In saint louis, we don't have as many direct irish descendants as you would have in a like chicago or boston or new york. But yet, we still have one of the biggest irish music and dance schools in north america. And there are just thousands and thousands of young people in ireland playing music to day.
