Irish Traditional & Gaelic midi music from Ireland

Old Irish traditional airs & music pieces have migrated to many parts of the world. Irish settlers who travelled abroad to escape Ireland's famine during the 1840's helped build the American West and contributed to the music & society of the time. The forced deportation of Irish citizens to Van Diemens land (Tasmania) in colonial days also brought the Irish traditions to the Southern hemisphere & Australia. Some of those musical influences can be heard in U.S. Bluegrass, Cajun & French Breton music styles. Here you can hear a selection of Irish Midi Music files, reflecting a tradition where music making and story telling was a central part of the community and social gatherings.

Enjoy listening and share in the Spirit of Ireland.
