‘that kind of stuff (Irish traditional music) I think comes directly from life…that kind of music springs directly uncensored from the soul of the people…it has no intellect that says I’d better do this or I’d better do that; it’s soul music if you like’ – Elmer Bernstein
‘I have a theory that soul music originally came from Scotland and Ireland’ – Van Morrison
