InOBU: Reading your message, I was a little bit puzzled:

Sorcha Dorcha are the first artists that ever played Irish Folk? And they still have concerts? You don't know any Reel or Gig, that is older than this group? No Irish people that played music earlier? Maybe I don't know that right, because I'm not Irish, but I always thought that people from Ireland make a lots of music for such a long time, that you couldn't make out the beginning... But if you could tell us more about the real beginning of Irish Folk, I would be very pleased.
