Irish Traditional Music, our hobby , our life, has an invaluable and unique asset in its development of individual and regional styles: National music with local accent, choice and habit, contributing to, never hindering the music. Those fortunate enough to have an understanding of this music are in enduring awe of the complexity, depth and expression bestowed upon this ancestral tradition. Being guardians of this Inheritance, it is of great importance that we never cease to nourish and protect, teach as it was taught and play as it was heard, undiluted in its meaning and reason:

The music we borrowed from our ancestors and borrowed from our children. We are eternally grateful for our music, our family & friends and many blessings throughout life…..

But for the grace of God………
