Back in 2008 when I first did an Irish tabs post I was wondering why there wasn’t any ukulele scene in Ireland. But I’m proud that post helped kick off Ireland’s ukulele group and festival and there seems to be a lot of ukulele interest over there now.
If you’re looking for some Irish music to play for St Patrick’s, here are a few ideas.
Uke Hunt Stuff
Whiskey in the Jar/Kilgary Mountain
