Ghosts Of Erin Traditional Irish Music & More...

Thanks to all ye Ravens and lovers of the precious auld schtuff.  For supporting The Traditions and The Art.    And us.
It would be a lot easier to open a Clancy Brother song book and strum a few formula chords or buy The Best of Irish Drinking Songs CD, surely - than trying to pipe some Irish Traveller's style of jig - or pull off the reel of a great Armagh fiddler, like Brendan McGlinchey.  A person can learn Whisky in the Jar in 10 minutes, but to sing a sean nOs air like Aisling Ghael in it's regional dialect -takes most people years even with a teacher. And maybe today - here and now - it doesn't make a difference to most.
But it's worth the good try; the passion of digging deep to get at the source of the spring - and share that cool drink with friends.
This ain't old dead stuff. People made babies to this music! It moved mighty then, and with heart, it does the very same today. And it wasn't, and it doesn't, have to be all Danny Boy. Not by a long shot.
We play it , we sing and dance it and try to give it the same primal energy it had after a harvest, by the hearth or in the open night.
Thanks and good on ye All for the support,
Jer Ghost  ;-)

The savage and the tender;
Some social join, and leagues combine,
Some solitary wander' R. Burns
