Real Irish Music

FORDMAN

Could anyone tell me where to download some Irish Folk music? My Aunt loves it and, I can't find anything on KAZZA except Irish Rovers and she has all those.

My Aunt is in bad health and the music soothes her, I would to give her a couple of cd's full of tunes if I can find them.

Thank You very much for any help.

I'll move this to Music/Radio. You might get a better response there.

I have connections with an Irish music site but I don't know if I can mention it as it might be seen as free advertising. See what everyone else says.

Also please read the charter of a board you are planning to post on in future, it's there to help you out.

Try out this album by De Dannan

It's a double CD, their greatest hits.

Seek out (the) horslips.

FORDMAN

Thanks for the reply and, I am truly sorry if I offended anyone. It won't happen again.

Puck

There was no offence, you were just looking in the wrong place.

FORDMAN

Thanks, couldn't find "The Horslips" on Kazaa

Puck

Try Amazon or the local record store.

If your local library has a CD section, go there. My local library (Letterkenny) has an entire shelf of trad CDs, and I strongly recommend you try Altan and Matt McGrannaghan

FORDMAN

Thank You Civilian, I'll try them. Where is Letterkenny? I don't think I'll find much Irish Music in the libraries here in Ohio.

You're in Ohio? Do you have a Borders bookstore near you? Last one I was in (in Maryland) had a large music section with an impressive Irish music section.

FORDMAN

Yes. Columbus, Ohio we have a couple of those book stores here, I'll check them out.
Thanks

for more energetic irish music, you should try bands like Kíla, and afro-celt sound system (think they're just called the afro-celts now). combine irish rhythms and instruments with african, asian rhythms and instruments

Dervish and Lunasa, and to a certain extent, Solas and Lir are more "traditional" modern trad bands, complete with sweeping atmospheric melodies, and energetic dance tunes, but with none of the diddley-eye crap you often get!
