Irish Music is music that has been created in various genres on the island of Ireland. The indigenous music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th, and into the 21st century, despite globalising cultural forces. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects and has itself influenced many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music. It has occasionally been fused with rock and roll, punk and rock and other genres. Some of these fusion artists have attained mainstream success, at home and abroad. In recent decades Irish music in many different genres has been very successful internationally. However, the most successful genres have been rock, popular and traditional fusion, with performers such as (in alphabetical order): Altan, Anúna, Ash, Aslan, The Bothy Band, B *Witched, Mary Black, Brendan Bowyer, Boyzone, Paul Brady, Chris de Burgh, Celtic Thunder, Celtic Woman, The Chieftains, The Clancy Brothers, Clannad, Rita Connolly, The Corrs, Phil Coulter, Nadine Coyle (of Girls Aloud), The Cranberries, Peter Cunnah (of D:Ream), Dana, De Dannan, Damien Dempsey, The Divine Comedy, Val Doonican, Ronnie Drew, The Dubliners, Mary Duff, Duke Special, Enya, Bridie Gallagher, Rory Gallagher, Glen Hansard of The Frames, Niall James Horan (of One Direction), Horslips, The Hothouse Flowers, In Tua Nua, Andy Irvine, Siva Kaneswaran (of The Wanted), Luke Kelly, Kíla, James Kilbane, Johnny Logan, Dónal Lunny, Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy, Tommy Makem, Christy Moore, Gary Moore, Van Morrison, Moving Hearts, Mundy, Ruby Murray, Sinéad O'Connor, Daniel O'Donnel, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Planxty, Carmel Quinn, Damien Rice, Dickie Rock, Derek Ryan, The Saw Doctors, The Script, Snow Patrol, Something Happens, Davy Spillane, Stiff Little Fingers, Stockton's Wing, Therapy?, The Undertones, The Wolfe Tones, Two Door Cinema Club, U2, Westlife and Bill Whelan (of ''Riverdance'' fame) achieving success nationally and internationally.
