The power and beauty of traditional Irish music lies "in the tune itself," the pure melody, and the performer's skill, wit, soulfulness and sense of oneness with the heart of the music.
While there have been many attempts to describe what Irish music-making is all about, most of them ignore its inherent social element. Most scholars define Irish music as a "solo" tradition. However, what is most valued by many traditional musicians is the social and musical interaction of two or more persons who sit down to "have a tune."
