Gee, just a few to choose from biggrin

I think Bit's list goes to show that traditional music is woven into the fabric of life in Ireland.

Thanks for the great list!

Go Raibh Mil Maith Agat, Corey,

I receive a list monthly by email. It is evident by the length of this list that the summer season is fast approaching. The monthly lists during the months of October through March are not quite as lengthy. biggrin

San Agus Barrogs, Bit

Bit,

Wow! As they say in Ireland, "We are spoiled for choice". Thanks. What is the newsletter? Is it okay to post the list? I only ask because of copyright issues that are ongoing.

Michele

Michele,

Yes, it is okay to post the list. It comes from the JMI: Journal of Music in Ireland.  I just realized that I had not included their link, which is their only request. The list I provided is only a partial, as the entire list also shows classical, jazz, contemporary, etc. Anyone may subscribe to their newsletter and then they too shall be spoiled for choice.  biggrin If you are a serious Music person, they have their full magazine to which you may subscribe. The email list is free and is all most should need though.

The Trad list gets longer and longer as Summer comes around. It is one of the best tools that I have found for finding Trad music as we meander. I wish I had found it on my first trip.

Slan Beo, Bit
