Exploring the cultural dynamics of Northern Ireland, this book delves into how traditional music serves as a marker of religious and ethnic identity, particularly since the onset of the 'troubles' in 1968. It examines the rise of the Ulster Scots tradition post-Good Friday Agreement and analyzes the role of Protestant musicians in Irish popular culture. David Cooper provides ethnographic and ethnomusicological insights into a group of traditional musicians from County Antrim, offering a comprehensive understanding of the region's musical landscape.
