My favourite traditional album is Andy Irvine and Paul Brady's self-titled LP from 1976.

I was brought up with trad music but was never a lover of it myself. I still have a few favourites from my childhood. This is one of them.

I love Irish traditional music. Once it's decent quality, like any kind of music really.

What sort of trad? Folk music or diddly-eye.

Hard to beat irish music ...let it be an old ballad or a good tune on the box..unfortunately a lot of young irish are too cool or ignorant to appreciate it...

Love it myself. Whether it be a group of musicians playing together, Irish folk music or indeed a Sean Nos singer captivating a whole silenced room. We have some talented Irish musicians/singers that's for sure. A lot of great stuff up on YouTube that I often watch.
We lost Barney McKenna recently, sadly.

When it is good is fantastic and when it is poor it is awful. Planxty live at vicar street is a masterpiece.

Ah man Joe Burke.We closed many a pub back in the day in the Bronx.Himself and that great Kerry fiddler Paddy Cronin playing together down at Durty Nelly's on Fordham Road in the 70's.No wonder we never wanted to go home and more times than not the session continued on into the next day.Good for Joe he cleaned up his act and and went back to Galway.Christ could he make that box talk or what.I have just about heard them all on the box but I think Joe played trad music about as good as it got and he was always a gentleman as well.

I am sure you heard Stocktons Wing.When they were in full flow man there was atin and drinkin in their music.Kieran Hanrahan from the group is still going strong.Played at Barney's final show the other day.I said to myself when I read that he was a guest player on banjo at the mass.They had such good taste.

Bonny Woodhall my favourite on that but it is a class album throughout.

My claim to fame is that I went to school with Martin Hayes. Probably my fav trad tune is "Funk the Cajun Blues" by Stockton's Wing. Agree with the poster above that there's a fair bit of drivel out there though, mostly the kind of stuff they feed to the tourists. Dolphin did you ever try the stew in McGann's? Twas very nice. Always put a good lining in your stomach before a feed of pints!

Dolp has refined his palet now from his days dining in McGanns pub in Doolin.Oh you hadnt heard that Cork lad has gone upscale from those days and is now found dining on furry critters that hang off the trees in his backyard.This bad boy has adapted bad habits since he arrived in the new world and the days of pigs crubeens are a distant past in his life apparently

yl, I presume you are familiar with the attached youtube clips.
Every time I see these, I am overcome with sadness at the realisation that the event junkies who attend Riverdance and similar shows would normally look with embarrassed contempt at these mighty musicians and dancers from west Clare who protected and preserved the culture.
If we had a hall of fame such as exists with American blues musicians, I would guess that
Tony MacMahon would equate with Robert Johnson
Noel Hill would equate with Muddy Waters
Seamus Tansey would equate with Leadbelly
while the mighty fishermen and small farmers of Quilty, Miltown etc, who preserved the dancing simply have no equal.
