Hello!, we went to an Irish restaurant a couple of weeks ago where they had a band playing Irish tunes of course.

Style is _DRURY+.STY (Drury Irish Alt Rock MultiStyle) RealTracks in style: 2749:Bass, Electric, RockShuffleHardDoug Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 3105:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaFolkShuffleSyncLowBrent Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2750:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockHeavyShuffleCraig Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2440:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking FolkySwing Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 3187:Fiddle, Soloist, CelticJigAndy Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 3770:Tin Whistle, Low, BackgroundSoloist Folk8thsGeoff Ev 110 Loop in Song: Percussion Loops\Loop132bpm Tambourine Quarters 4 bars.wma RealTracks in song: 2458:Strings, Rhythm CelticWaltz Ev 100 RealDrums in style:BluesRockShuffle^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat Cheers!

Your song does indeed have a nice Irish feel to it.
I would probably remove the drums and just use the Bodhrán to make it sound even more Irish, but that's just my personal taste, because I play Bodhrán once in a while when I relax.

I'm 40% Irish and I'm not even 1% offended by "Green Hills." It's lively; spirited, even. Makes you want to get up and dance.

The wee bit of Irish in me said this is a fantastic Irish song. Note that is the real wit bit of Irish in me and not the Mediterranean Irish that makes up most of my heritage 
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Nice to hear you still sound so good in a different place, Mike. You know I thoroughly enjoy the smokey atmosphere where I hear most of your cool productions. This was a breath of Irish spring that had a special dancing quality. Do you like Greek food? You should do a whole European tour of restaurants with a new song from each, and call the opus European Seasonings. Excellent dish to start.

Mike,
As a person who has Irish blood and genealogical descent! I can say you did right by the folks across the pond! This highly energetic piece is a joy to listen to! Excellent work!
Thanks, TB

Thanks Torrey and David for your comments. Marty, as a matter of fact, I have done different pieces from different countries which BTW, comes to a very "a propos" with your suggestion. I'll be posting those in a separate posts although I have done so a long time ago.
Cheers.

Hi Mike ...
Really nice! I particularly loved the flute. They can be so difficult to work with sometimes. But you scripted it perfectly.
No Irish in me until getting to the very early 1800s - my great-grandmother was a Stephenson, whose lineage goes back to Ireland. I'm mostly Welsh & German. Regardless of all that, this was a most enjoyable listen that had my toes tapping all along. A very nice change from your typical soft, smooth and mellow. Very entertaining!

Thanks Scott and Alan for the comments. Yes, it was a new and fun experience for me. I definitely don't have any Irish on me, more like Mediterranean, but I love their music.
Thanks for listening.
