Traditional Irish Musicians

Ireland has a rich tradition of music and dance, which in recent years has become very popular as a result of such shows as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, and groups like The Chieftains. Step into any good Irish Pub you are likely to hear lively jigs and reels, foot-tapping hornpipes and sad and lilting laments played on the traditional instruments i.e. Fiddle, Accordion and Bodhraun.
