The Guide to Irish Traditional Music
by Fintan Vaallely
The Guide CD
The instruments, players, tunes and styles of Irish Traditional Music in a comprehensive, one-CD album
This is a unuque CD. It represents practically all of the music and song, tune-types and instrumentation of Irish Traditional music. Faced with the couple of thousand CDs currently avilable in the shops, teachers are often at a loss as to what to purchase as music-room resources.
This CD album has seventy seven minutes of not only many of Irish music's better-known performers, but a number of highly-talented young artists as well. Men and women, young and old, from all parts of Ireland, from the USA and Britain, they represent everything from the oldest that the music has to offer to the newest. Almost all play professionally, and for most of them, music performance and teaching are their livelihood.
