 y 20th\n\nThe Southwest Ramblers are a high-energy duo who bring fresh li
 fe to Irish traditional music. With roots in Ireland and the U.S.\, they

 t's now part of the school music syllabus in Ireland. He blends Irish mel
 odies with electronic textures\, creating a sound that's as innovative as
  it is rooted. Watch his performance of Pressed for Time which was used a
