It was like walking into an explosion. I had about four chords on the guitar then, and Tommy Makem still couldn't play the tin whistle because his hand wasn't fully healed, but Pat could play the harmonica. Pat, eldest of the family and businessman of the group, is the founder of the very successful Tradition Records. A brave little band of poets and socialists stormed the General Post Office in Dublin on Easter Monday, , and though they failed, before the year was out the first large hole had been blown through the ramparts of the British Empire.

By the late twentieth century, the remotest of vil- lages had access to new sounds and information from across the globe.

This article will examine how media sources, such as radio, recordings, television, and printed mu- sic have transmitted new styles of music to the island and how these, in turn, have influenced the repertoire and styles of traditional fiddle players.
