Three Tune Tuesday, Getting the Irish vibe going

Hello ladies and gentlemen of Hive, from actifitters to rally drivers , welcome to my Three Tune Tuesday and today I want to do a little traditional Irish vibe with you all. My daughter who is 6 and has a keen ear for music is getting into the Irish traditional music. This all stemmed for a random Irish track coming on in the car and she became obsessed with it. I never communicated her love for this song to her mammy. So she asked her mammy so she had mammy's head melted asking her to play Wet Field Day. The song is not very popular she wasn't getting any joy from Alexa either so there was tears. Thankfully when I got home I saved the day by throwing the song on every speaker in the house. Now Wet Field Day is not traditional traditional Irish music but it would be like a group of teens in college coming up with a pop version of Irish music and it is quite catchy. The thing about Elephant session is that they come from Boom land in Scotland so he has probably heard more about them than my good self but we are all Celts so it is all the same really

Elephant Sessions - Wet Field Day

So after my daughter listened to this 150 times , my Spotify were throwing me up a heap of this type of banjo music and we came across this song by an Irish/UK act that I heard before but never really listened to it. I quite liked the trad background with again a popular vibe to it.

If you can play an instrument you can travel all around the world and make a living. Now sometimes it may not be
the best living but you will have the craic doing it. The last song is an Irish trad session that took place during a delay in an airport. The lads were bored and got out their instruments and just started playing. I love this kind of stuff and regularly go down on a Monday evening to the local trad pub and join in with the music. You start off not getting the timing right but it improves your playing if you are doing it week in week out and you get to learn the different key changes pretty fast. There could be 2 fiddles, 3 banjos , 2 guitars so if you go wrong its not the end of the world. A family I know who would be quite famous in Ireland regarding trad make me cry how talented they are. The whole family, grandfathers, kids would be in the pub playing and they pass their instrument to the left after a song so the kids , parents play a different instrument. The talented bastards, and here is me just trying to keep up on a six string guitar. I have purchased a banjo and mandolin as this is the cool kids are playing nowadays but the problem here is that it is like playing the guitar upside down. The strings are G D A E. So throw everything you know about a guitar out the window and start again with the banjo. So this is where I am at now. Hating the banjo. But I will get there and wear a cowboy hat like your man below. And hopefully gain the god status off randomers in the airport. My goal in life is for some person to shout Yeeeeupppppppppp at me which is an Irish way of saying they are enjoying a banjo solo!

So that is it from me. Thanks to Galway man @ablaze now who was probably born during a trad session up in Spideal, Galway as they are all into up his way.
