    The Kelly Family were fairly well known over here back in the 90's.

    Irish trad has kept Irish people in employment all around Europe for years.

    Estonian Celtic heavy metal music is a thing too.

    I used to rent a house off a fella that toured Northern Europe all year.

    The Germans have long had a strange soft spot for mystical tripe from Ireland - even the NAZI's were intrigued by it.

    They also have an apocalyptic taste in popular music.

    Yeah, but their alternative stuff tends to be pretty good, hip-hop, punk, metal

    25 years ago in Luxembourg I was asked about The Kelly Family & I hadn’t a clue who they were. They were big in Germany & Luxembourg back then. They are Irish-American that’s why we hadn’t heard of them.
