\"jedward1\"<\/a>Yes it’s that time of year again, when everyone suddenly discovers their Irish ancestry and declares that they’ve always loved a Guinness. We at EP are no different, so we thought we’d celebrate the occasion with a look at our favourite Irish pop stars.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ireland has had a long association with music. The Emerald Isle is known for producing the most winners of the Eurovision Song Contest (7), and so it’s no surprise that it would also be home to many of the world’s most famous (and\/or infamous!) singers and pop music acts. Here’s our Top 10.<\/p>\n

10. JEDWARD<\/p>\n

Love them or hate them, when you think of Ireland, you think of Jedward<\/a>. We love them here at EP, so they had to be on our list. Twins John and Edward Grimes hail from Dublin, and even though these days they’re more likely to be seen in the world’s celebrity hot spots (Los Angeles for example<\/a>), they have green blood running through their veins, and still call Ireland home. The lovely lads are about to release their fourth studio album sometime this year – we can’t wait!<\/p>\n
