And don't get started on traditional songs from non-Irish origins that have been popularisted by CDs and singers of the "Oirish party mix" variety (Danny Boy, From Clare to here, Wild Rover, etc). Or jigs and reels written by English ppl.

Just call it "diddly-diddly" music - then everyone'll know what you mean, regardless of what the national origin of the diddly-diddly music is.
