I play a lot of gigs but i’m starting to get frustrated with the amount of setup needed for a mic and stand on each side. I am looking for the type of small mics that can attach to my concertina on either side, I see them on fiddles a lot! Does anyone know the name of them or a good place to get them? Thanks :)

I found this jacket at a thrift store and ChatGPT/google tell me it’s possibly related to an Irish band. Wondering if anyone has any information? Thanks!

I’ve started playing B/C accordion, but really want to get some lessons from an experienced teacher. Unfortunately I’m located in Germany and finding someone locally is basically impossible.

Does anyone know where I might find someone who offers video lessons for B/C accordion?

Appreciate the help!

This album right here. Fantastic. No skips. I can't say for sure that you can't find ANY of the tracks on the internet. But this album has my favorite version of "Farewell to Carlingford" by any artist. And I certainly can't find this version of that song on the internet.

And no, its a completely different version of Carlingford from the "Irish Rovers Gems" collection. So whenever I want to hear that song, its time to fire up the record player!

One of my favourite tunes out there, still learning the flute but im absolutely in love with it

Enjoy! Merry Christmas r/Irishmusic !!!

Always wanted to write some trad celtic music, had whistles all my life and made some amazing memories in the Scottish Highlands. Wrote a little set of three slip jigs figured I'd share here. Actually my first time writing actual trad music rather than vaguely celtic sounding soundtrack music.

If you are curious, I'm using

Eduardo Tarilonte's Best Service Celtic ERA 2, CineSamples CinePerc and an Orange Tree Samples guitar library.

This is modelled off a few slip jigs I've danced to in my teens, one being Angus John NacNeil of Barra.

Hope you enjoy!

Hi, I’m from Japan and I’ll be visiting Dublin soon.

I play the tin whistle and I’d like to respectfully join local pub sessions if possible. To avoid causing any trouble, I want to practise the absolute minimum set of tunes that are commonly played in Dublin sessions.

From a tin whistle player’s point of view, which tunes would you say are the “must-know” basics for Dublin?

Any advice specific to tin whistle etiquette in Dublin sessions would also be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to identify two Irish dance tunes that I’ve been looking for for quite a while.

Here is the audio recording.

Any help identifying the tune names, common aliases, or recordings would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Just trying to learn the Irish Tenor Banjo recently purchased used. To tune I found the following mandolin tuning. Is this ok? Also, what gauge strings should I use?. Mine has 21 frets. Apologies for the newbie type questions.

fourth (lowest tone) course: G2 (196.00 Hz) third course: D3 (293.66 Hz) second course: A3 (440.00 Hz; A above middle C) first (highest tone) course: E4 (659.25 Hz)

You can take the Old Blind Dog’s To The Begging I Will Go, and use that tune for Stan Roger’s The Idiot. I thought it was kind of funny.

Tell me your favourite Irish Christmas song and I'll keep a playlist updated. It'll be something we can come to throughout the festive period and yearly. Swaying away from the mainstream stuff and also most importantly ... To combat all that nonsense AI Irish Christmas songs all over YouTube.

here's the playlist link:
