Now i know that recently some members admitted a preference for Country music, but i'm not going to go that far!

Traditional Irish Jig music?

Anyone know any good examples, good artists etc?

I saw a band called Drop The Box at a festival last year, bought the CD and there is a live track on the CD called Dubset which is essentially Irish Jig. I love it, It is actually impossible to play it and not tap your fingers and i'm looking for some more!

Theres no need to be embarassed M8, everyone already knew you were a closet folky

I did a post about the FOS brothers and posted a link, you can download the MP3s from their site. Gambit had a listen and thought it was OK. Its Irish folk, with an electric twist and definitely foot tappy, let me know what you think. I ordered the CD a few days ago, not got it yet

if you like folky rock, try a CD collection called the Elctric Muse:here. it charts the progression of folk into irish rock, very good collection. Also, you can go wrong with a bit of Rory Gallagher

Gambit, another closet folky

Hi,

My current favorite Irish artists are:

Flook http://www.flook.co.uk especially the album 'Rubai'

Michael McGoldrick http://www.prideofmanchester.com/mus...McGoldrick.htm especially 'Fused'

Lunasa http://www.lunasa.ie

The Flook site has a few audio clips on it.

Link sorted, but do a seach for electric muse, it brings up two boxed sets.

stevegreen · 10-04-2003, 9:50 PM

oooooo, unfortunately it's against my religion to buy compilation albums

But ta for the link

stevegreen · 11-04-2003, 1:14 PM

I had a quick listen to some tracks on the Flook website......

Be purchasing some of that in the near future methinks

Glad you liked it. That reminds me that I've not played that album for a while - something that will be rectified immediately...

Track 5 lets it down though IMHO, bit too slow for my liking.

keiths · 04-07-2003, 9:41 AM

Yep - I often skip that one.

If you want a good Irish band you can't beat the saw doctors. Don't just buy the CD, make sure you see them live...
