”Irish music is tunes, not "backing."

Not saying you’re wrong, Steve - Irish music isn’t, and never has been, of the faintest interest to me (too much breakneck-speed twiddly-diddly and fiddlers/whistle-players/melodeon-ists etc. showing off for my taste). But I reckon you’d have a very tough time telling this guy that he can’t accompany Irish tune-players! ;-)
