Dublin has music in its soul, writes Museyon Guide James Hendicott, and today that spirit can be heard in the city’s Celtic punk scene. Brighter than its English sibling, yet too raw to go mainstream, Celtic punk is a blend of traditional Irish instrumentation with electric guitars and other sounds borrowed from rock ‘n’ roll. Join your guide as he finds music around every corner — on the street and in the ancient city’s pubs. Start off at the famed Temple Bar, discover the one band every touring music fan should see on a trip to Dublin, and sample the best of Celtic punk from outside of Ireland.
