This site also has a lyrics archive with some 400 song lyrics. In their words, "A collection of Irish themed midi songs ranging from political to humourous, some sad, some happy, all good! Some songs have several midi versions available." Many of the MIDI files appear to have come from Mudcatter Barry Taylor's Traditional Tunebook.

Celebrating culture and heritage is plenty of fun for Irish families when they get together for a reunion. Ireland has a rich history of arts, music, dance, mythology, and cuisine. By introducing some of these aspects in a family reunion, it is a wonderful way of passing down parts of one’s heritage to the next generation. Many people in the U.S. have Irish ancestry. Even if you have not been to Ireland, there is still plenty you can do to celebrate the culture. Submitted by Bridget, a participant in a community center youth program who is trying to learn more about her Irish heritage before an upcoming family reunion. She found Mudcat and liked it a lot.

from John Moulden: "This site mounts my musings and meanderings concerning Traditional Singing in Ireland, written or presented, over the past fifty years."

10 people with a diversity of musical and philosophical backgrounds and talents, who share a love of Irish, Scottish, and other Celtic musics. We have been actively performing for 3 years, at local venues and festivals in and around Ottawa, Canada. But given the unquenchable chutzpah of our manager, Lois Siegel--fiddle player, award winning film maker, and photographer,we expect to do much more!
