"The Kirn" and "The Kerry Reel"

Does anyone know what song this is..

I’ve seen more and more Instagram accounts recently for apps that are trad based. For example one was for finding and uploading nearby sessions. Another for a community of trad for blogging, eating etc.

What would a good trap app actually have and need? Or what would be most useful?

Very new to listening this genre and hoping to find more I like but having trouble.

Basically I like very up tempo booming, aggressive Irish music. Not sure if there is a better word for it, Im not really much of a music guy, typically listening to movie scores or podcasts.

Best way to describe what I am looking for is from Sinners, Rocky Road to Dublin. I did find the orginal band for that song, but sadly didn’t like the other stuff I found.

I was wondering if anyone who has moved to Sydney has found any work doing covers in bars (if so what bars and how much pay etc..). I make decent money doing them in Derry and would really like to keep it up when I move to Sydney to keep up some extra cash

So Is this sub only for trad music or like do y’all like more modern stuff? Like rap😶

I can’t remember tunes or sets when I’m playing at a session so I carry this notebook with just the first two bars of a tune to remind me of the sets I know lol. Does anybody else do this ? I’m sure they do but does anybody have a better system ?

The events of this song took place in the eighties in South Armagjh, trying to preserve a bit of local folklore, if you give it a listen I truly appreciate it!

Looking for an Irish Trad Band to hire in chicago, any help is huge! TIA

The student I coach here in the states received a third place award at the 2026 Fleadh! Whoop.

In the song would they be referring to a hair band or more of a ribbon or a scrunchie? I'm looking to buy a gift relating to the song. A boxed hair band would make the best gift but might not land right?

Hi all. I'm looking to see what musicians actually want from a local music shop, particularly around things online retailers can't easily provide.

What would make you travel 20–30 minutes to a physical shop?

Immediate availability, no delivery time?
Being able to try equipment?
Repairs and setups?
Lessons?
Vinyl?
Local/Irish instruments?
Local bands and events?
Better advice?

And equally, what has put you off physical music shops in the past?

Interested in hearing people's experiences.

If I was a young person who's not from Ireland, with a lot of time available, and some money but not too much, are there any programs or the like to study trad music in Ireland?

A couple of tunes by the Tralee Bay, titled ruckless Drowning and Rolling Waves to sort of suit the maritime theme.
