#Irish6Music - help pick the Ultimate Irish Playlist

Will Gilgrass

This Sunday there's only one topic we could possibly go for to accompany your pints of the black stuff – the Ultimate Irish Playlist.

On St Patrick’s Day, we want you to tell us your favourite bands, artists, producers and anyone else who makes music with a connection to Ireland to create the ultimate celebration of their artists’ contribution.

Plus, all next Thursday, BBC Introducing are decamping to five UK cities so if you can think of any Irish bands that have come through Introducing then you get double points!

A few ideas:

* Some of the big boys – U2, Dropkick Murphys, The Cranberries or My Bloody Valentine

* A few more contemporary ones like Two Door Cinema Club or The Strypes

* The best dance music from Fergie to Phil Kieran and Space Dimension Controller

* Perhaps a band you’ve seen in Ireland – that’s allowed – at festivals like Oxegen or elsewhere

* Can we find room for B*Witched?

You choose the music so let us know whay you want us to play by commenting on Facebook or here on the blog, Tweet #Irish6Music, email us at [email protected] or add a track onto our collaborative Spotify playlist.
