An Irish running playlist for St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s day is coming up soon, and i thought this would be a perfect time to to put together an irish themed running playlist.

Irish music is usually lumped into the “drinking song” category, and true, this music is great as pub music, but it’s hard to ignore the greatness of irish music and the influence it had on genres like country and rock. In fact, if some of the songs in this running playlist woulnd’t have the bagpipe in them, they’d be hard to distinguish from bluegrass music.

In any case, the playlist i put together today has a nice selection of drinking songs, some instrumentals, and just regular music from ireland (no U2…) that has a good BPM for a running playlist.

This list is 27:36 minutes long with an average BPM of 130.
