Trying to learn The Wran Fear Dearg on Banjo

I think it's in D Dorian. I can't seem to get the 2nd half, and I feel I miss notes on the first part.

Does anyone play it in Banjo who could post or send a video of someone playing it where the camera stays on the player still.

I've a tin whistle in D and a guitar, wanting to find some standards that are regularly played at sessions that I could learn and then join in with. Can you let me know some songs and if possible the places to find the notes? I might be able to work them out otherwise ! Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I came across this set of tunes recorded by Lúnasa simply called “Snowball”. I was wondering if anyone could help me in identifying the tune titles as I’d like to learn them. Here is the link to the set of tunes on YouTube.

"Hey! I loved that tune! What's it called?"
"No idea!"

It feels like this happens at every session I go to, so I made a game about it!

It's called traddle (Trad + Wordle) and it tests you on how well you can name tunes! At first you'll hear a little bit of the tune, and see if you can name that tune! You can reveal more of the tune but you'll score fewer points!

Every day the tunes change, and if you login you can save your score on a leader board!

Please let me know if you have any feedback or if anything doesn't work!

New band, workin hard, Wadaya think?

Hi guys. I play/learning tenor banjo and I am looking if there’s any groups in the east of England that’d have me along? I’ve played out in Galway with some friends that play in the pubs but looking for something near me. TIA!

Heyo, traveling through Ireland this summer. I am currently in county mayo by westport. I am looking to get to the feakle music festival which runs august 5-10. I have been looking at bus combinations and it seems doable but a bit hectic. As such i was wondering if any one is driving from county mayo to feakle for the festival and has extra space in their car. I an pitch in gas and snack money and banter of course. Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone here listen to Irish songs. I find them really good. I also like Celtic music. It's mostly from Ireland.

(Please forgive my singing...)

Does anyone recognize this old traditional song?

I am several months into trying to find any mention of it online and I've officially finished searching through all of my friends CDs and cassettes.

This is the first verse to the best of my memory:

https://pastewaves.com/player/15912f41-4128-497d-ba1b-5c1ece5aa00e

"Oh Come to the sea side and hear the wild waves.
On the dark rocks we'll stand as the storm wildly raves.
And we'll watch the white seagulls o'er tempest and spray.
For the mighty ocean ridge is fierce and loud.
Oh come come away."

The second and third verses start with:

" Oh come to the hedge row.....
(Something about the blackthorn and bramble)..."

And

"Oh come to the meadow, with gay flowers all around...."

Exhaustive Google searches and AI only managed to find the first verse by lyrics and it turns out that it was a poem from an older book that someone wrote a few more verses for and turned into a song.

I remember hearing it first some time around 2006 in either CD or cassette format, but it may have been recorded way earlier. The whole album was English language acapella singing "field recordings" in the Sean-nós style. I had thought that the singer was either Paddy Berry or Paddy Tunney, but I couldn't find it in the CDs that I could track down.

Any help or leads at all would be greatly appreciated. This has been driving me crazy.

Hello everyone made a game some of you might enjoy. It's called music guessr and the goal is to guess the country by listening to the song.

You can try it out here: https://musicguessr.io
