'For the whole world is Irish on the Seventeenth o' March!' - The Irish-American poet Thomas Augustine Daly, as seen on Bustle.com

On St Patrick's Day 2011, the Irish-American astronaut Catherine Coleman played a 100-year-old flute belonging to the Irish band The Chieftains, while floating weightless in the space station. Her performance was later included in a track called The Chieftains in Orbit.
