Here's a recording of the reel "Over the Moor to Maggie," with a backing track to make the music a little more interesting.
Here are LINKS to a few web sites that are related to traditional Irish music in some way. This is by no means a well selected list. It is merely a few links that I happened to have already coded from the distant past so it was relatively easy to quickly make them available here. Later I may find time to refine this list and make it much more up-to-date and relevant.
