This is a charming collection of rough, warm and friendly tunes. It reminds me of the sort of life I used to lead in Australia. Shacks and tipis, busses and bedfords, forest actions and festivals.
Thanks for sharing this.

The world is a better place because of wonderful musicians like the Dongas Tribe, a group of young folks who make music anywhere, any time because it's in their hearts. The recordings in this file were made in a tent! And yet, the music gives you the feel of being there joyfully listening in to people who live to entertain you, in the fashion of Celtic bards. Their other files are equally fantastic, and I encourage you to give a listen. I can see one problem: I don't have enough hard disk space to hold all of the wonderful music from these talented and dedicated artists!

This tune is called the wedding Jig, it is featured as the tune the fairies play in Midsummer nights dream the latest film version, also It is on Altan the first years CD. I think you can get the Dots on the session Website. Also one of that Mazukas I know as Sonnys Mazurka and that should also be available on the sessions website, and yes although many of the tune are not native to England we must not miss out that ones that are, English folk needs a boost sometimes. This music is good though becuase its raw, that is what is best about traditional music.

you'd not be able to keep her off her feet. She and my mother are from Ireland and the both loved to dance.This is genuine traditional music played the old way. I had a hard time keeping still, myself.

I love all these pieces, they have a rich, depth of texture redolent of so many cultures and time-periods and the live recording but adds to this. Recently, when I was making an animation on organic Plum Pudding, I found 'The Lark in the Morning' absolutely perfect to convey both the pace and the spirit of the film. Thanks so much for uploading this great music and making it available for our enjoyment, dancing and inspiration!
