Ireland is the most wonderful musical mecca in the world. So happy to call this place my home.

[@darnick54]

Fabulous music….. no better on earth, and I’m a Scot, very touchy about my country’s music - but Irish traditional is by far the finest.

[@lesleymaher8287]

[@mitchreab5482]

Are these Irish standards?

[@orbitalcheese6969]

Everyone that can play knows the Fermoy lasses. London lasses is exceptionally common too. The last one I don't hear as much around. I play it myself a good bit (although I didn't know the name of it until this vid) There's no real set of standards as they are always changing. Tunes fall in and out of fashion. The music is too diverse. You have sets of reels like cooleys/wise maid that are somewhat standard but nobody that's any good likes playing them unless heavily altered to make it interesting because they were so overplayed in the past. You could learn the 100 most well known tunes and wouldn't hear one of them in sessions.

[@jalepezo]

SO much talent, classicla music is garbage for elites,. real music still much creative and alive with the same level of virtuosity and effort and love

*in reference to Sárán using a fada (the á)* Man: you've a bit of Irish then? Sárán: a bit, a bit *bit of English* Sárán: where are you from? Then they all use "tá mé i mo chónaí" which means "i live in" but is often used for "I'm from" He says he's from and mullach bán or mullaghbawn which means the white hilltop and is a place in northern Ireland

[@GemsOnVHS]

Thank you for the translation. I thought that was such a neat little exchange with a complete stranger. Music brings people together like that.

[@Boozywoozy27]

@@GemsOnVHS i coulda kept listening to that. I need to know more about Mick Quinn

[@mischief.brewed]

@@GemsOnVHS no bother! It's a beautiful language... Sárán is also a unique name, never heard that before

[@eggbertmcflubermuffin9550]

Ireland truely is another country with its own language ain't it. Despite anyone's opinion on the whole "uk" thing it feels and sound so foreign to me😅 there's some English accents and slang I don't get but Irish is just in a league of its own and find it so fascinating😁
