I play the Irish flute and have a pretty large collection of recordings. These tracks showcase the work of some of my personal heroes on this lovely instrument.
I wish I could play my Irish flutes as well as the people in these recordings. It's all the flubs and grace notes that I have a hard time adding to the music.
@skigirl2015-197 Well, sure wish I'd played those tracks :) There is a huge difference between playing Irish tunes, and playing tunes Irish. But it can be learned. Shamless plug: If you're in Switzerland or southern Germany, you could take my intro class.
@segv2 Yeah, I can play Irish tunes (The celtic music book I have is falling apart because I play it so much) but playing the tunes Irish is what gets me. I'm learning to play Irish slowly but surly though! And I unfortunately do not live in Germany or Switzerland. But thank you anyway!
This is great, thank-you! I play the fiddle and going to the fleadh ceol with my celí band this summer- might be playing a few of these in the sessions!
