Get in the mood for The Force Awakens by watching this Trad Band absolutely nail the Star Wars theme

This sounds so good.

The latest instalment of the universally-beloved Star Wars series hit Irish screens at midnight last night, so don’t be surprised if you hear more than a few people humming the theme tune as often as you hear Christmas carols.

Irish trad band ‘Connla’ have taken it to the next level, however. The Armagh band have lent their uilleann pipes, bodhráns and harps to the nerdy, sci-fi excitement – so watch their video and get pumped for Star Wars in the most Celtic way possible.
