Jed Marum has been on our radar for a little while as we sometimes wander a little off the pure traditional grove and into some of the folk/celtic that is integral to most Irish sessions. This track which we recently came across is taken from his 2004 album Miles from Home. There is an inherent mellowness to his voice that can easily compete with…

Music provides us with wonderful opportunities, not least to travel the world. While I am very used now to following an institutional calender - be it teaching in a secondary school or now at Dundalk Institute of Technology - I am fortunate to still have the opportunities to perform and tour. This Easter I joined two of my great mates from the Kingdom, Conor Moriarty and…

Drowsy Maggie is a reel that we learned years ago and have played it at many sessions as it is a most popular tune. We hope this 'bare bones' setting is a help to anyone who finds it a bit daunting to learn a tune with all the ornamentation included at the start.

This is the debut EP featuring 5 tracks from Galway band Baile an Salsa. As the name suggests this is a truly international band that mixes traditional music with Latin rhythms and beats. When I first encountered Baile an Salsa my interest was immediately drawn to their fresh sound. What started as a general curiosity changed when I got my hands on the EP. The members that make…
