An Irish Jig

The Traditional Irish Music group practice every Thursday in the Music Room. Today we recorded a traditional Irish jig called Ryan's Fancy.

Mr Kiely is playing the Banjo, Shannon is playing guitar and Emily is hiding on the piano in the back! Ms Kirrane, Niamh, Alison, Anjadejesu, and Roisín are playing tin whistles. Bennery is sitting playing the traditional Irish flute. Can you see how it is different to the concert flute used in classical music?

Ciara and Ms Mahon play the fiddle. Do you notice any similarities between the fiddle and the Classical violin?
