    maith an fear fishtyfiddle,

    Do you have a sample I can listen to? guessing your the fiddle?
    Any other payers around you know of I can listen to? or can you name a few so I can research them.

    The dub/hip/hop trad = dub/hip-hop/trad? either way the trad be hopping!

    I learnt piano/guitar but focusing on vocals at present! I ain't selling myself though, I wanna listen to reggae/trad!

    nice to meet you

    ah why not, sounds like it could work out well, Steve cooney's and Sinead O'Connor's woeked out well. reggae is in 4/4 blending it with a reel might work

    The Peat Bog Faries did a good job of mixing scottish bagpipe music with techno so there is no reason why it wouldn't work.

    I've hear a version of the Mason's Apron that slipped in and out of No Woman No Child and it was good.

    “There are a lot of musical connections between Irish music and reggae. A few old Irish tunes are very close to reggae rhythms, and there's a huge Irish influence in the Caribbean” Shane McGowan once maintained in an interview.

    Thanks keep the suggestions coming researching/listening to them all
    bi go maith

    So this has been apart of me for a while. I could slightly hear it before and it got louder and louder, now it wont leave me alone. Not only can it work it will work beautifully. What is your motives for all this.
