I LOve diddle - i Music

i love it used to do irish dancing too lol i play enya marble halls on guitar but thats about as close as i get apart from the tin whistle badly lol

my best mates father is a famous irish trad singer but still i dont like it

yes me 3. i love it, seem to be always travelling the planet to get to the sessions. i'd play every day/night aswell if i could. just landed a job in kerry playing harp (NOT harmonica, although that too maybe) and guitar and attempting to sing. haha
right then

My favorite kind of music is Irish - not sure it's what the original poster here would call 'traditional' though.
Mary Black, De Dannen, Planxty, Christy Moore, Luca Bloom....I've got an old tape that was me dad's from the 1960's of Irish Freedom Fighters (that's what is says on the tape - a homemade copy) (kevin barry, off to dublin in the green in the green etc.). Apparently its illegal now.
Love 'em all I do.
We all sang "I'll take you home again Kathleen" at my auntie kathleen's funeral. Was lovely. (though I know it wasnt really Irish at all, but from america?).
Anyone else out there like Irish music?

Years ago there was a pub in Truro (cornwall) guys would bring guitars, bodrins (is that the name? like a drum top and a two-ended stick?) etc. and I loved listening to them 'jam'.
I forgot to mention I also love the chieftains, though my fave cd is with Van morrison! ("chieftains in china" is wicked too).
But yeah, real traditional stuff is great - when I was a teenager me dad used to take us over to ireland (around dublin and kells) to visit relatives and we'd all get a go with making music - or rather making a racket I should think anyone listening!
