Two-eyed Ireland

In 2006, the ethnic fusion band ‘2nd Moon’, who became famous with their song ‘In West Sky’ featured in the TV drama *Ireland*, visited the home country of their first album’s guest singer, Lynda Cullin, for the first time. What started out as a casual trip turned into a serious fascination with the culture and its music for two of the band members, Hyun-bo and Hye-ri. A year later, in August 2007, they formed a five-member Irish trend project band ‘Bard’ and went to the World Fleadh in Portlaoise, Ireland, each with only their instruments. Music in Ireland is deeply connected to daily life and reflects the country’s painful history.
