Groups with assorted instrumentation and size
can be assembled for various purposes—for example, fiddle, flute, vocals, bodhrán, even harp or pipes, or accordion or piano. Or at least they could in Texas. Still figuring things out in Wisconsin.
Demonstrations and workshops
From informal chats with audiences unfamiliar with Irish music to
master classes with intermediate Irish fiddlers.
Dance
It's always better with live music. Both Irish and Breton social
dances (larger groups of musicians can be assembled for ceílí or fest-noz purposes). Irish and Breton dance
demonstrations. Irish dance competitions (feisanna). Irish dance music also works well for contradances. Scottish
country or highland dance a possibility, as is Renaissance dance.
