Last 2006, ethnic fusion band, ‘2nd Moon’, who became famous with their song, ‘In West Sky’, insertedin TV drama, Ireland, visited their first album’s guest singer, Lynda Cullin’s home country, Ireland for thefirst time. What started out as a casual trip became a serious fascination with the culture and its musicby two of the band members, Hyun-bo and Hye-ri. A year later in August, 2007, they created a fivememberIrish trend project band, ‘Bard’ and left for the World Fleadh in Portlaoise Ireland, each withonly their instruments. Music in Ireland is close to the Irish’s daily lives and reflects their painful history.The director is captivated by the phrase written on a pub wall in Belfast, ‘A nation that keeps one eyeon the past is wise. A nation that keeps two eyes on the past is blind’ while the band ‘Bard’ iscaptivated by the music tradition of Ireland. And the journey continues. (CHUN Jin-su)less
