You might want to have a look at some that are a little easier to play. You can be sure also that the easy tunes are known by most people in a session and therefore it makes life a little easier for the beginner to join in. I would try to learn "the Rakes of Kildare, Saddle the Pony, Miss MacLeod's, The Boys of Blue Hill, The Cliff of Mohir, An Bhfaca Tu Mo Sheamuisin and The Half Door. Den
