A lot of Irish music traditional music is instrumental, often for dancing to. Jigs and reels being examples. Music often features tin whistles, flutes and uileann pipes, which are similar to Bagpipes, except that they are not played by blowing into them, but by pumping air into them using a bellows strapped to the elbow. The tone is different to the bag pipes.

Some songs are similar to Country Music in their subject, often being about a place or person that is special to the writer of the song. The sound would be different to country music and there would be a particular focus on the people and places of Ireland.
